TotBytes field Truncated

Hey Barry,
The 10 char field size is a default size.  You can change it using  
your commands
by putting a field width specifier on the "bytes" option to ra().

   ...  | ra -s saddr sbytes dbytes bytes:14 - net xx.xx.xxx.xxx

Normally, you would have a .rarc where you can override the defaults  
with the
RA_FIELD_SPECIFIER=" ......"  configuration.  I have mine set to:

RA_FIELD_SPECIFIER="stime flgs:9 proto saddr sport:7 dir daddr dport:7  
spkts dpkts sbytes dbytes state"

but I change it alot depending on the ra* program.

Carter
