Hello ntop list!

Cisco has recently opened up Netflow support on the entire range of their
ASA firewalls (previously only available on the top-end gear) and since I've
got an ASA firewall here I thought I'd give it a whirl.

It looks like ntop is receiving the flow, but it is discarding a large
number of the datagrams.  Particularly, it seems to not understand 2/3s of
the templates that are sent.  It seems that the system is not collecting any
network data from this flow, as no data is viewable on any of the report
pages.

I have sniffed the traffic and made sure that the traffic really is getting
to ntop.

Below is the Netflow Statistics page.  It seems interesting that the Valid
Flows Received is the same number as the Flows with Zero Packet Count number
- these definitely increase together over time so it isn't a coincidence
that they're the same.
Flow Senders     192.168.2.1 [82 pkts]

I've compiled version 3.3.10, running on Ubuntu 9.04.  I actually had
intended to run this same configuration on an older machine of mine - a
Ubuntu 7.10 host running 3.2 - it also shows these same results.  I've got a
non-production system here to test with if someone can help aim me in a
direction.

Thanks!
