Cool! a command line option will be very nice. But I think that there´s something else as i tried to create a new tap device using "openvpn --mktun --dev tapxx" and that device had a mac address. Anyway... I will wait for the new release. hm... wait 5 minutes? I will try again :-) -- Christian Lyra PoP-PR/RNP _______________________________________________ Ntop-dev mailing list [email protected] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop-dev
