Well I definitely know that -i has something to do with it. The minute I remove the option, ntop has been running for the last hour. Before, ntop would die in like 5min.
Since I have multiple nic's, I'll try -M (without -i) to see what happens next. -Devon -----Original Message----- From: Burton M.

All that -i does is (potentially) reduce the set being monitored, but once it's running, that's it... Do you have -M set (i.e. interface merging)?? Can you run under gdb and see where it's dying? Or failing that, (if you're using gcc to compile), use -K to capture the backtrace? -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Devon Harding - GTHLA Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 11:38 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [Ntop] A reason for dying You might have something Shaf, I too have several other machines running WITHOUT the -i options and they have been up for weeks. The machines that DO have the -i option, dies in minutes. I have to use webmin to restart the service. We should look into this. -Devon -----Original Message----- From: Shaf Ali [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 12:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Ntop] A reason for dying > Shaf, > so who's fault? ntop, Linux or your machine? machine ? I have tested this on several machines with different/same NICs most definately ntop... ntop is not happy with pre-post routing packets which the kernel is managing. Think about it logically... ntop is not running at kernel level and if packets are being mangled in the kernel what will ntop think about it ? (Sorry I have not looked at the src for ntop in detail yet) If you can provide me with a link to the latest most stable version of ntop I will happily test it for you. I'll build kernel 2.4.18 with similar configs on seperate machines... I am sure that when I build a kernel with basic packet filtered ntop will fail.
