Hoi,

logging the direction of connection establishment would be a nice
feature for tcpspy. Eg:
connect: user x, local x:y -> remote z:ftp-d(ata)
connect: user x, local x:y <- remote z:ftp-d(ata)


regards,
   Mario

	I've already reported the upstream author this bug and he replied:
"#97178 - I'll investigate this."

	So... its his turn.

I did investigate this, and I could find no simple way of figuring
out connection direction from the information in /proc/net/tcp.
tcpspy 2.0 solves this problem by using a kernel module and can tell
whether connect() or accept() was used to create the connection.
Unfortunately, tcpspy 2.0 isn't quite ready for `prime time' yet,
and it doesn't look like I'll have time to make it such in the near
future.
