Is there a way to tell how many and who is logged into the player when connected to a lan?

Nothing easy, but you could add the appropriate software to the player and then run it somehow.

Perhaps I should add a /proc/connections entry to Hijack or something..

http://empeg.address.here/proc/net/tcp and http://empeg.address.here/proc/net/udp should show it. It's all in hexadecimal so you'll have to convert it however...

I tend to cheat. On the same network as the empeg, I have a Sun workstation and run snoop on it. Do you know if there is a sniffer variation as part of the debain distribution?

It's not very fancy but tcpdump should work. I guess you're running it on a plain hub?

I compiled tcpdump for the empeg. It's linked off of riocar.org's software listings.

Cool! Thanks!!! I will give it a shot. The empeg is sitting on a hub in my cubicle, and I watch the traffic from a Sun box on the desk.

A Hijack solution would be VERY nice! tcpdump is great except that it contstantly spits out connection info...you can limit the line count with -c but I think it would be cool to be able to browse into something like /proc/connections and see a static list. It would, of course, update on refresh.

DisplayServer had code in it to show who was connected to the empeg on a web page along with a bunch of other statistics. Maybe Frank would be willing to donate that

Using the util I posted in this thread will show you the IPs in decimal form.
