hi nick,

I try to verify the prolem, you are right that racluster doesn't seem to
aggregate the trans properly, but it seems to be happen since
argus-clients-3.0.2.beta.6, lets check this out -

Beta 5 ra output

argusC-3.0.2b5/bin/ra -nr ~/Downloads/telnet-raw.arg3  -s trans pkts
     1       29
     1       36
     1       26
     1       43
     1       53
     1       36
     1       11
     1        8
     1       16
     1       14

Beta 6 ra output

argusC-3.0.2b6/bin/ra -nr ~/Downloads/telnet-raw.arg3  -s trans pkts
     1       29
     1       36
     1       26
     1       43
     1       53
     1       36
     1       11
     1        8
     1       16
     1       14

Beta 5 racluster output

argusC-3.0.2b5/bin/racluster -nr ~/Downloads/telnet-raw.arg3  -s trans pkts
    10      272

Beta 6 racluster output

argusC-3.0.2b6/bin/racluster -nr ~/Downloads/telnet-raw.arg3  -s trans pkts
    28      272

And I have tested on beta 9 and it gives exactly same result as beta 6, so
hopefully this give enough info to carter to fix the problem. Other argus
client tools (such as rahisto in your case) may inherit the similar problem.

Thanks!
