I would say this I almost never recomment running Snort and Ntop on the firewall unless you really have a good server. P4 with 512MB is not good enough to handle these processes because they do packet inspection. That is they look at every single packet that comes across the ethernet connection which is a lot of processing. Turn them off leave them off. If you require that kind of protect or data get a better box. -Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Efw-user mailing list Efw-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/efw-user
