Hi all,
For some time now I have struggled with ntop on some (not all) of our FreeBSD machines. In particular, a FreeBSD 5.2.1 machine is giving me headaches:
When running ntop (3.0) with the -p <protocol list file> parameter, after a short while its CPU load skyrockets and stays at 100% (actually, 100% of one of the CPUs in the server). Removing the -p parameter normalizes the situation. Note that while the CPU load is high, ntop seems to be behaving as it should, i.e. it collects traffic data and respons to webserver requests. There's no obvious slowdown, though this is a dual opteron server so I don't usually notice slowdowns anyway.
Also note that the --set-pcap-nonblocking option makes no difference; it probably has no significant effect on FreeBSD 5.x.
On another server (FreeBSD 4.10), I have no problems with the -p parameter whatsoever.
Anyone got any clue what's up with this?
