Next chapter in the exciting saga of ntop-current & FreeBSD 4.1
 
As we finished last episode, ntop is running in -w mode at long last,
so despite those who claimed it it would never run it does indeed
look like there is some life in this thing yet :)
 
Ntop is certainly impressive in terms of the information provided ...
I've yet to see any commercial application that does as much. 
 
Before I forget ..... thanks to all those who tendered advice over the
past few days, particularly Nicolai Petri, Olivier Nicole, and
fellow countryman Stanley Hopcroft whose "half-baked suggestions"
(to quote his own phrase) provided the final piece of the puzzle.
 
Now to get down to business ..... as stated in a previous posting,
I've got a few relatively minor issues to contend with
 
(1)    how to generate an SSH token
 
(2)    how to configure / enable lsof / neped / nmap
 
I did make a point of looking for dependencies before installing
ntop .... did not see any mention that neped / nmap were required.
According to my ntop installation, lsof / neped, & nmap are "either
disabled or not installed"
 
I can't find how to generate the graphical screens a la the ntop site,
seems like they require nmap so thats one of the next tasks.
 
However ...... where do I locate info on "enabling" stuff once its installed ??
I presume there's some form of incantation required .... ??
