[Writing to fink-devel because ntop is unmaintained]

I'm running ntop 1.1-23 compiled from unstable with a recent Fink from CVS on 10.4.3. Everything works except the keystrokes. I can't type "q" to exit. All of my keystrokes instead get buffered and are echoed in the Terminal after I Ctrl-C to exit ntop and return to tcsh or bash (I tried it under both). I'm running ntop with no cmdline arguments. I tried "fink rebuild ntop" but that didn't change anything.

Any ideas? ntop uses ncurses, but I have the latest version of that from Fink and I haven't heard anyone else complaining about it...

I downloaded the current mac binary (3.2) from ntop.org and am running it with: sudo ntop -l 86400 -L -a /Users/robertwyatt/ntop.log -q -t 5 -u robertwyatt --w3c -P /usr/local/ntop-3.2/var/ntop -d

So far I like it with the major exception that it tends to crash my system after running it for an extended period. I'm not sure if it has a memory leak or if it is spawning too many processes or what. I figured it was an ntop issue and that I could probably tweak my settings somehow to fix it and so I didn't ask about it here.

Also, my goal would be to run ntop at startup as a daemon accessible through https, but I have a lot of reading to do before I'll be ready to modify my apache configuration for this. I haven't found a good resource for this, but I'll bet that there's a Mac how-to for this somewhere....

My fink-built version exhibited the same behavior as you are experiencing so I dumped it when I discovered that it was significantly out of date. I'd be happy to test any new fink versions, but I'm not qualified to maintain one.
