3.0 != 3.1 on FreeBSD. You need Mr Strauss's patch (IMHO) to go to 3.1 on FreeBSD 4.x (4.10-RELEASE for me). With the patch, peace and tranquillity; without: any or all of, no response to web requests, high CPU utilisation (>= 40% for 2 x DS0 !), _and_ instability. Your choices for FreeBSD are 3.0 or 3.1 + BMS540 (?). > As of 9:05 this morning - [ntop uptime: 31 days 16:34:32] > > Monitoring about 400 machines, talking over a T1. > BTW, as Mr Strauss points out this is not a slag FreeBSD issue. Ntop and Nagios 2.0 (and perhaps MySql) struggle with the pthread lib. (Nag 2.0 suggests there is better performance from Linux thread support [ports]. When I tried this with a 2.2.9x Ntop the results were not good; don't know for 2.x) Yours sincerely. -- Stanley Hopcroft Network specialist, IT Infrastructure IP Australia Ph: (02) 6283 3189 Fax: (02) 6281 1353 PO Box 200 Woden ACT 2606 http://www.ipaustralia.gov.au
