differences between 2.0 and 1.8 logs

Hi Carter,
	  Well as it turned out I did not get away this week so I'm 
fiddling with argus ;-)

I have made a couple of minor changes to my watcher script so that it 
works with argus 2.0 and have been running it in parallel with one 
running on argus 1.8.1.

Today the version using 2.0 missed two netbios scans so I did a little
poking around:

bash-2.03$ argus-2.0.0i/bin/ra -zncr data2/current - host 206.14.97.214 | less
Wed 09/27 13:13:38.999542   udp   206.14.97.214.137    ->    130.216.197.19.137   2        0         116          0           INT

27 Sep 00 13:12:35      udp   206.14.97.214.137    ->   130.216.197.5.137   3      0       174       0        TIM
27 Sep 00 13:12:40      udp   206.14.97.214.137    ->   130.216.197.6.137   3      0       174       0        TIM
27 Sep 00 13:12:44      udp   206.14.97.214.137    ->   130.216.197.7.137   3      0       174       0        TIM
27 Sep 00 13:12:49      udp   206.14.97.214.137    ->   130.216.197.8.137   3      0       174       0        TIM
27 Sep 00 13:12:53      udp   206.14.97.214.137    ->   130.216.197.9.137   3      0       174       0        TIM
27 Sep 00 13:12:58      udp   206.14.97.214.137    ->  130.216.197.10.137   3      0       174       0        TIM

Both servers and clients running on same host.

It would appear that the 'i' release not logging some flows.  It
missed the traffic for the other scan completely and in this one only
logged one flow.

Hmmmm... I notice that the the timestamp format seems to have
reverted to the old form with the addition of the .nnnn.

Cheers, Russell.
