AquaEthereal is an application launcher, written in Python, for the Unix-based Ethereal network monitoring program.

Ethereal is a sophisticated GUI for the tcpdump command-line utility, and runs under Fink or DarwinPorts in Apple's X11 environment. While the program can be launched from within the X11 application, it requires administrator authorization (a user password), and the AquaEthereal launcher provides a convenient way to start the program.

To begin Ethereal, just click on the AquaEthereal icon in the Dock. This launches the X11 environment. AquaEthereal then prompts you for an administrator password, since Ethereal itself must be run under these conditions.

What's New in This Release:

· Now a universal binary.


Requirements:

· X11.app,
· Fink or DarwinPorts installation of Ethereal.
