[Ntop] ntop crashes because of forwarding ports

[Stephan Schmidt]

Hello,

I have installed ntop 2.1.3 on a RH 6.2 box. Compiled it myself before. The box acts also as a router. The machine does also ip forwarding. I.e., port 80 is forwarded to another machine in the local LAN. Ntop starts fine from the init.d-script with the following command line:

$prog -d -P /usr/share/ntop/ -E -L -u ntop -w 3000 -S 2 -i eth1

The problem is that, when I connect from the internet to port 80 on the machine where ntop is installed (port 80 is forw. to another machine, as I wrote), ntop "crashes" which means that I read in the "messages" log that eth1 has left promiscuous mode, so ntop has stopped. Is this a "normal" behaviour, which means that one cannot install ntop on a box which does also ip forwarding? Do I have to give ntop more parameters?

Thanks for help,

Stephan
