Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing with some observations on ntop 2.2.98 (CVS 2-Jan-2004) on
FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p1.

1 Start up messages and problems

When ntop starts it emits the messages below :-

1.1 Despite the use of --skip-version-check, it does not appear to. 

The host is a small terminal server without Internet access.

1.2 There are two (2) ntops started; one fails when it tries to lock one
of the DB fils.

At this point ntop is functional.

2 However, I can't use it as freely as with ntop-2.2 since it appears to
resent tunnelled HTTP requests (through an ssh tunnel)

Jan  3 19:51:39 tssyd ntop[66104]:   **ERROR** URL
security: 'http://tssyd:3000/' rejected (code=2)(client=192.168.102.230)

192.168.102.230 is the ntop host.

The results are the same with Nav 4.79 and Firebird (0.61). Formerly I
was able to use at least Nav in this way.

The requests are for the index/start page and come via ssh port
forwarding (becuase I am at home); LWP automated requests for the dump
pages are working fine.

Very uniformative trace is below (from the clients prespective - not
unfortunately after traversing the tunnel): the sample request shows
none of the FAQ marked verboten chars - GET / HTTP/1.0 seems about as
innocent as one could get.

Lastly, the questions and answers fonnd by a Gmane search don't seem to
deal with this issue.

I am happy to enable tracing if someone can let me know what.

Yours sincerely.

'...No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the
continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a
manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes
me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know
for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...'
