Byte count wrapping?

[Carter Bullard]

Hey David,
All the ra* programs use 64-bit numbers for counters, so you're  
probably not
rolling over, but, seems like you're on to the issue.  When you print  
a field, it is
constrained by the field's width specifier.  The default field width  
for 'bytes' is
12 characters, and the default for 'pkts' is 8 characters.

To change the width, append a ":len" (where the len is an integer) to  
the field
specifier, either on the command line, or in your ra.conf file.

Here is an example for ~/.rarc:

RA_FIELD_SPECIFIER="stime flgs proto saddr sport dir daddr dport spkts: 
10 dpkts:10 sbytes:16 dbytes:16 state"
