>Linksysmon is a tool for monitoring Linksys BEFSR41 and BEFSR11
firewalls under Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. It accepts
log messages from the Linksys, and logs the messages to
<TT
CLASS="filename"
>/var/log/linksys.log</TT
>. It handles the standard activity
logs, as well as the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"secret"</SPAN
> extended logging, and can handle
logs from multiple firewalls. When using extended logging, it can detect
external IP address changes (if you are using either DHCP or PPPOE) and can
call an external program to process the change.</P
