	Here's what I want to do. Monitor and log the network traffic of 1 specific program. Yahoo messenger. I don't care about the content, what I'm looking for is to find the exact IP address of the person on the other end. I know I can see this with programs like IPNetMonitor, but what I'm looking for is something that will run without an interface. There must be a unix tool or even a tool already on OSX that can do this. Thanks!
