VERY COOL!!  I compiled and installed it today.  For the others that may be
interested, here is what I did:

- Got the October 5th CVS snap shot from snapshot.ntop.org
- Compiled it.
- Updated my perl installation to include the simple.pm perl module and
required dependencies.
- copied ./ntop/www/Perl/mapper.pl to my ./http/cgi-bin directory.  (Not
mapping.pl)
- Updated my httpd.conf file to support .pl files in my cgi-bin directory
- Passed the following addition to my ntop command line  "-U
http://10.10.1.200/cgi-bin/mapper.pl";

Notes:

The address 10.10.1.200 is the IP address of the web server I installed the
mapper.pl script on.  It could have been on any web server.
I cheated and used RPMs from http://rpmfind.net to round out my perl
installation.


Feature suggestions:

- Include whois information from some place like
www.arin.net/whois/index.html for the map. Or provide a button to collect
the information.
- Provide a hyperlink under the map to the parent map site so that you can
use it's map navigation features.

Hi all,
I have added a new experimental service inside ntop. Basically I have
written a small CGI (you can find it inside the ntop distribution in
www/Perl/mapping.pl) that exploits the server netgeo.caida.org for
drawing imagemaps of the geographical location where a host is
physically located. I have coded ntop so that it draws the map of those
hosts that are not local (you know ehre your local hosts are, don't
you?)

By default (use the -U flag) ntop exploits mapping.pl installed on
jake.ntop.org, but you can install your own mapping.pl on your lan
(lat's more efficient of course) or not use the service at all (ntop -U
"").

If you want to see it at work, resync ntop using CVS.

Have fun, Luca
