[netflow-tools] Building a softflowd RPM

[Steve Snodgrass]

I've included several files that enable one to build an RPM package of
softflowd.  This is intended for Red Hat (i.e. Fedora Core and RHEL) systems
but could be ported to any RPM-based system without too much trouble.

The attached files are:

softflowd.spec - the RPM spec file
softflowd.init - an init script for starting/stopping softflowd
softflowd.sysconfig - a config file that sets options for softflowd

This RPM also makes use of the DESTDIR and ICMP patches I submitted in my
previous email.  The ICMP patch is optional and could be removed, but the
DESTDIR patch is needed to successfully build the RPM.

I could make a full source RPM available if there's demand for it.

%description
softflowd is a software implementation of a flow-based network traffic
monitor.  softflowd reads network traffic and gathers information about
active traffic flows.  A "traffic flow" is communication between two IP
addresses or (if the overlying protocol is TCP or UDP) address/port tuples.
The intended use of softflowd is as a software implementation of Cisco?s
NetFlow traffic account system.  softflowd supports data export using
versions 1, 5 or 9 of the NetFlow protocol.
