Hi again,

I'm running Argus on a Ubuntu 12.04 64bit box.

I have made a few more tests.

It looks like it's never resetting the bytes/packet counter?

When looking at the new.ra Argus log file, everything appears to be just 
fine.


PS. I'm running Argus with fairly standard options, but maybe -S option 
is what confuses the new Argus?
argus -i eth1 -P 561 -S 5 -e 1 -w /var/log/argus.log
