Thanks Burton.

I can't find these on the ntop.org website, nor in the software distribution
nor on the application webpage :( I looked under the docs section of
http://www.ntop.org/ntop.html but the only useful thing it lists is the ntop
man page, which meantions the -A option but not how to use it.  So I took a
guess as shown below but got it wrong.

(I have moved the password dB file)

# ntop -A
segmentation dump

Added -A to ntop.conf:
# /etc/init.d/cswntop start
No password database !

# man ntop
Nothing there as the file is empty.
   0 -rw-r--r--   1 root     other          0 Feb  4 14:00 ./cat8/ntop.8

There is a reference on the docs page to a Users' Guide, but as the page
says, 'it is drafted and out of date'.  There is no link to the actual
document.

Do you know what the correct syntax is?  I think that I might have to start
ntop in terminal mode to do this, but omitting the -d option does this so
ntop -A should be OK?

Simon.

(you can just delete the file and recreate it via the -A option)

Subject: [Ntop] How to reset ntop's forgotten admin password.


Hi there everyone,

My first post to this list and 'tis one with a silly question:

I have forgotten my admin password for ntop and need to reset it.  I know
that it is inside the ntop_pw.db file, but I can't extact the password.

How would I reset it?

Many thanks,
Simon.
