What kind of problems are you seeing?  The -F is for the "fast discovery"
option, unique to NT, and you are correct that it does not put the comma in the
ovsuf file, as perhaps it should, but that doesn't seem to stop netmon from
starting or from picking up the correct options.  The parse seemed robust enough
to handle the missing comma when it was tested here, or so I am told.

Subject:  NT's netmon "-F" option




With NetView NT v5.1.1, what does netmon's -F option
turn on?

The reason I ask is because It causes problems in
netmon's LRF file.  The "-F" option places itself right
next to the "-z 0" option (-F-z 0) instead of adding a
comma(-F,-z 0).  Please let me know if this is a know
bug or if I need to report it.

Thanks,
