Linksys Router + Logging

Sorry if I'm stating something extremely obvious about the Linksys cable/DSL
router (BEFSR11/41) but maybe some will find this useful.

As of a few firmware revs ago this gadget gained the ability to log
incoming/outgoing connections. Linksys includes a nice Logviewer.exe tool to
watch/log things on a Wintel box. However some casual packet sniffing shows
that the Linksys is really just sending out SNMPTraps. Most recent RH
distros come with a trap watcher called 'snmptrapd' (part of the UCD-SNMP
package). Just use a /usr/sbin/snmptrapd -P (or log it somewhere) to watch
incoming/outgoing conns.
