I'm looking into that. Unfortunately it's not in Sarge. I have found a
few since I posted by changing my search terms. (I tend to always pick
what sounds like good search terms that don't give me good hits!)
I just started looking at tcpdump, but I'm not sure if it'll give more
than packet headers. Unfortunately, I need to get this done tonight
and this is the big hold up -- once I clear this, the rest will be
easy, so it's one of those cases where I'm hoping I can find an easy to
use tool that I don't have to spend hours learning how to configure.
