nTop

Ntop doesn't appear to exist in the "usual" repos (fedora, freshrpms,
livna). Is there any deep reason for this?

If you want to monitor your local network usage, either install net-snmp or just write a trivial application to read and process /proc/net/dev ever few minutes or so, this is what net-snmp reads for its data, and counts all outbound network traffic on a given machine.

Probably because it is more of a expert user-admin tool rather than a common user admin tool.

It keeps track of traffic by protocol, traffic by in and outbound hostname, and quite a bit of other stuff, and it rather cpu intensive (it is a full sniffer). Probably not something you want to run except on a non-dedicated full-linux firewall, which is probably why it is not in a repo.

If you had a number of users on your network that you wanted to keep track of you could run this, or you could run a full proxy server to be able to carefully monitor things.
