<siren>User error!</siren> <grin />

The name of the ntop admin id is "admin"

It has nothing to do with the unix userid ntop runs under via the -u
parameter!

Subject: [Ntop] unable to configure ntop via the web interface


I'm unable to configure ntop via the web interface.
I'm prompted for a user name and password, but authentication
always fails when I enter 'ntop' and 'ntop' as the username
and password.  There is a linux user 'ntop' with password
'ntop'. That user is the owner of the directory /home1/ntop.
I used the command line:

    ntop -P /home1/ntop -u ntop -A

to set the admin password as 'ntop'.  I use the command line:

    ntop -a /dev/null -P /home1/ntop -u ntop -i eth3 -d

to start the program.  I have reviewed the FAQ and the
user & dev archives back to January 2002, but I haven't
found a description of a similar problem.  (Pointers
to overlooked information gratefully accepted.)

If the source of my problem isn't immediately obvious,
I'd be pleased to receive helpful suggestions about how
to gather addtional information which could narrow down
the problem.

Configuration information follows:

Hardware
     Type & # of processors             1 AMD K6-2 550 Mhz
     Amount of memory                   128 Mbytes
     # network interfaces and types     4 Linksys PCI interfaces

Software
     NTop version, etc.                 ntop-2.0.99-rc2.tar
                                        openssl-0.9.6d.tar
                                        libpcap-0.7.1.tar

     Linux vendor & version             Red Hat 6.2
     Any major upgrades                 no
     gcc version (e.g. gcc --version)   egcs-2.91.66
     glibc version                      glibc-2.1.3-15 (from RPM -q -a)
     What else is running               Not much, but see output from
                                        ps -Af at end of message.
                                        (This is one of 3-4 dozen
                                        similarly configured linux
                                        systems in the computer room
                                        adjacent to the lab.  I chose
                                        it because it is lightly used.)

Network
     Telnet access to this system is via eth0, which is connected through
     Ethernet switches and a router to the corporate network.  eth1 & eth2
are
     unused at the current time.  eth3 is the port used by ntop.  eth3
     is connected to a Fast Ethernet hub (a real hub, floods to all ports,
     not a switch).  There are two of our own devices connected to the same
     hub; it is traffic to and from those devices which we wish to monitor.
     The 4th connection to the hub is an upstream connection to an
     Ethernet switch to the corporate network.  So this means that I would
     expect to see a fair amount of broadcast traffic (DHCP, ARP) but
directed
     traffic only to and from the two of our own devices.
