Hello

ntop seems to set the 'first','last' timestamp fields of the exported flows
to the time it actually sends them. I guess this is wrong, first should at
least be the time when the flow first reaches the router. Example with
a timedout session:

+---------------------+---------------+---------------+----+-------+---+
| t                   | s             | d             | dP | dO    | p |
+---------------------+---------------+---------------+----+-------+---+

| 2002-04-11 18:13:59 | 212.117.64.2  | 204.71.140.70 |  0 |     0 | 6 |
| 2002-04-11 18:18:13 | 204.71.140.70 | 212.117.64.2  |  4 |   679 | 6 |

The flow was generated by the same "wget -r www.cw.com". After the first 
export I waited.. and waited.. got bored and hit the shutdown button on the
web interface. Then suddenly the rest of the flows came throug.
(the byte and packet counters are absolutely correct, the null lines are
due to asymetric routing)

bye,
