follow some erros in the config.log after run ./configure

conftest.c:8:28: error: ac_nonexistent.h: No such file or directory
conftest.c:51:21: error: net/bpf.h: No such file or directory
conftest.c:18:21: error: net/bpf.h: No such file or directory
conftest.c:27: error: 'struct sockaddr' has no member named 'sa_le


so...I can't run the "make" ...

Subject: [netflow-tools] flowd syslog not working
Message-ID: <alpine.LSU.2.00.1202021116520.29628@msndeldev-h-01.alpha.cdw.com>

We're running RHEL 6.0 and flowd does not log properly.

I've added some lines of test code and found that parent process logs just fine, but the privsep child process (user _flowd) is unable to log.

If I run in the foreground, logging to STDERR works just fine.

Anyone else seen this?

Subject: [netflow-tools] softflowd-0.9.9 released
Message-ID: <alpine.BSO.2.00.1202131310440.6964@natsu.mindrot.org>

Hi,

I've just uploaded a new release (0.9.9) of softflowd to
http://code.google.com/p/softflowd

This release incorporates Irino-san's recent patches, most notably his
support for flow sampling. 

The softflowd-0.9.9 release contains the following new features:

  * Add support for flow sampling, controlled by a new -s option (see
    softflowd(8) manpage for details)
  * Add compile-time --chrootdir option to specify alternate chroot
    directory.
  * Allow specification of input and output interface indices using a
    new -i option.
  * Introduce a freelist allocator for expiry and flow objects, faster
    than malloc

... and the following bug fixes:

  * Correctly exit from mainloop when a signal is received
  * Fix logging from reduced-privileged child
  * Many manpage typo, consistency and formatting fixes
  * The softflow statistics command now displays the time at which
    softflowd was started
  * Avoid spurious exit from mainloop while listening on "any"
    interface
  * Correct broken IPv6 Netflow v.9 flows

Please report any problems via the issue tracker at 
http://code.google.com/p/softflowd/issues

Thanks,
Damien Miller
