                            MONitoring the NETwork

I should be working on mod_blog but instead I spent the day working on
monnet, my network monitor. I have problems compiling it for the latest
RedHat releases, due to changes to dlopen() (more specifically, the man page
states that upon opening the shared library, if you have defined _init() with
external linkage it'll be called automatically by dlopen() but that doesn't
seem to be the case. I'll have to explicitely call it now).

I also want to add some functionality to the program, like accumulating
statistics about the number of packets and the amount of traffic. I also like
its ability to view the traffic live, and in a format that easier (for me) to
read then tcpdump.
