decided to try ntop 3.4-pre3 on freebsd 7.1 amd64 due to 'issues' I have
seen with freebsd.
needed some (lots) of patching to get it to compile, most of the hints I
took from the freebsd ports patches files.
but, I am stuck on either not getting display (http process hung), and
getting a display, but not getting anything captured.
http gets hung if I apply this patch: (from freebsd ports patches)

but it I DON' apply the patch, I get no capture (nothing seen, yes,
worked with ntop 3.3) tried with built in pcap and ports pcap.
(some discussion on this patch:
<http://old.nabble.com/Workaround-for-ntop-as-daemon,-is-it-ok--td26539336.html>
ntop 3.3.9 worked, but ntop 3.3.10 hung (both freebsd ports).
anyone running 3.4 on freebsd 7? and what did you do?
