Try to run NTOP like: ntop -u ntop --use-syslog=daemon --no-promiscuous --no-fc -Q /dev/shm -M -i "eth1,eth2,eth0" & (adapt to your needs) where the interesting part is >>> -Q /dev/shm See if that will help. It did fixed my problems on fedora like a charm.

I have ntop-3.3.8-1.el5 in a Centos 5.2 release. Ntop looks work succesfully but after some minutes it crashes. In /var/log/messages I have something like this: Nov 18 08:59:15 s-analyzer ntop[14534]: warning: can't get client address: Bad file descriptor It repeats n times until ntop crashes.... I have been trying with different kernel versions but not succesfully. I have the following /etc/ntop.conf: --user root --db-file-path /var/ntop --interface eth0,eth1,tun0 --use-syslog=local1 --http-server 3200 --https-server 3203 --daemon I am running at these servers a shorewall firewall, and openvpn service in a tun0 interface. Please, let me know any solution. Thanks vey much for your time. Miguel Velasco. King, Morgan escribi?: > > > I am running Ntop 3.2 on Centos 5.0.
