(REPOST due to mailing list problems)

Both -w and -W have defaults, although the precise value has differed among
snapshots - it was moved into myGlobals, and then the initialization to
"reasonable" defaults work was done, then there were a couple of cycles on
what *was* reasonable for them.

Right now (well, 28Feb), it's (globals-core.c, around line 195):

#ifdef HAVE_OPENSSL
  myGlobals.sslInitialized = 0;
  myGlobals.sslPort = 0;           /* Disabled by default: it can enabled
using -W <SSL port> */
#endif

  myGlobals.webPort = 3000;


If you're having man page problems, it's probably the intop issue - check
the back posts or the FAQ entry at http://snapshot.ntop.org/

I haven't had issues compiling openssl, although IF YOU DON'T give a value
and it's not in /usr/lib/..., ntop does look for it in a fixed place -

               1036:     0     elif test -d ../openssl-0.9.4 &&
               1037:     0          test -r ../openssl-0.9.4/libssl.a &&
               1038:     0          test -r ../openssl-0.9.4/libcrypto.a &&
               1039:     0          test -r
../openssl-0.9.4/openssl/ssl/ssl.h; then
               1040:     0            OSSL_ROOT="../openssl-0.9.4"
               1044:     0            AC_DEFINE(HAVE_OPENSSL)
               1046:     0     elif test -d openssl-0.9.4 &&
               1047:     0          test -r openssl-0.9.4/libssl.a &&
               1048:     0          test -r openssl-0.9.4/openssl/ssl/ssl.h;
then
               1049:     0            OSSL_ROOT="openssl-0.9.4"
               1053:     0            AC_DEFINE(HAVE_OPENSSL)

That's not always good - latest is 0.9.6c - so try the --with-ossl-root=
parameter

Burton,

Yes, thanx.  I guess I need to re-compile/re-install ntop b/c the man pages
somehow did not get installed.  Also seems like something must have not be
compiled/linked properly because I knew & was after making the 'W' option
work but somehow it defaults to port 3000 for that option whereas the 'w'
option let's me choose the port.

I had to play with openssl (I.E. recompile) several times before all the
warning messages regarding openssl went away when compiling ntop.  I guess
something is still not okay on that link.

Takuya

How about reading the docs/ directory, the man page that
comes with ntop, the FAQs at http://snapshot.ntop.org

1. plugins/
2. There is a default in the source, otherwise use -P
3. -w vs -W

-----Burton

If my cat allowed me to have an
opinion, it would be here...
