RE: [snips-users] new hostmon-client.linux ??

["Jim Goss" <jim goss at privacyinc.com>]

I had some of the same problems with hostmon and tweaked the
hostmon-client.linux file myself.  Disclaimer: I'm an amateur perl-guy
at best and really only touched the netstat portion.  You might use my
work as a launching point for yourself (I fixed the NetIErr problem, see
attached).

Thanks,
