[ARGUS] Argus clients crash due to use of deprecated POSIX::tmpnam in Perl code

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Chris,
Sorry that I haven't looked at this yet ... are you using the newest code ??  If so I will correct this weekend ...

Many people use R or their favorite graphing system using JSON or CSV output from ra.1 to generate their graphs ...

   ra -r argus.file -c , -s fields you want to graph

If you want to do time series graphs, then use rabins.1 to structure the data into fixed time slots ...  say you want an hourly graph ...

   rabins -M time 1h -r argus.file -c , -s fields you want 

There are hundreds of time series things you can graph with rabins.1 so if you have questions send to the list ...

 I myself tend to use Powerpoint or Numbers as I like to use 3-D bar graphs ... Hopefully this may help !!!

Carter

I am writing my bachelor thesis on Argus and how you can do statistical analysis of IP streams with it. I am writing to you about a bug/problem I have encountered when i try to use the "ragraph,rahosts,radecode".  Some of the Argus clients in the argus-clients package crash due to the use of the deprecated POSIX::tmpnam function in the Perl code. An exampleof the error is:
