Check the CURRENT man page, not an old one you have lying about -s | --no-promiscuous Use this flag for disabling interface promiscuous mode (i.e. the ability to cap- ture ethernet frames regardless whether they are directed to the local ethernet card or to the ethernet broadcast address). Note that even if you use this flag, the interface could well be in promiscuous mode as other applications can have enabled this functionality. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Inaki Sanchez Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 10:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Ntop] Option -s not working Hi all, I am using ntop 2.0.99RC2, when I start it with the option "-s 16384" (without this, ntop fills up all the RAM and half of the swap) to limit the amount of memory ntop will use, I find that no statistic are collected, that is, the output of http://my.server.com:3000/dumpTrafficData.html?language=perl&key=eth0 is all zeroes. Can anyone explain that?
