That sounds like a problem I was having but on RH7.3 (I think it was).
When I had the problem it was when I used it in daemon mode (-d).  Try it
without the -d and see if it solves the problem.  If so, I think Burton
patched it in the current development version.  Try a CVS fetch and build
it your self to see if it goes away.

Directions for CVS here: http://www.ntop.org/download.html

You may have to add the word "export" to your CVSROOT command like so:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/export/home/ntop

Hi,

I am running  ntop 3.1 on a RHEL3 (Whitebox) system.
I have installed using pre-compiled binaries from Dag Wiers site, as
well as rebuilding the RPM myself and installing that. I have not tried
the tar ball.
Kernel  2.4.21-15.0.3.EL
The underlying hardware is a Via EPIA M6000 with a added tulip based
ethernet card

The problem I am having is that ntop only seems to properly capture
packets if I do not give it any command line options.

If I run ntop plain as root it starts up and listens to the default port
3000. I connect and get graphs for all the current data. If I run ntop
with a switch the interface still comes up but the interface reports no
packets captured.

eg. ntop -d or ntop -d -L or using /etc/ntop.conf

Does anyone know what might be causing this issue?

The other thing I noticed is that when I hit crtl-c to stop the plain
command line ntop I often got a segfault when it closed. Not sure if
that is normal.

 Also is there an archive for this list?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Terrence
