A general note: 'find /' is slow and has a couple of risks. Generally you should use 'locate' or 'slocate' Another useful command: rpm -ql ntop (gives you the list of files in the package ntop) rpm -V ntop test if those files have changed (or been removed) Does this package come with an ntop "service"? the script /etc/init.d/ntop If so, have a look at this script, and maybe use it instead of running ntop directly. > /etc/ppp/plugins > /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins > /usr/lib/netscape/plugins > /usr/lib/gedit/plugins > /usr/lib/gnumeric/0.61/plugins > /usr/lib/ntop-1.3.1/plugins > /opt/ntop-1.3.1/plugins I bet that /opt/ntop-1.3.1 is not from an RPM of powertools. Do you have another installation of ntop? From where is the command 'ntop' issued? Is /op/ntop-1.3.1/lib in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or /etc/ld.so.conf ? > > [root@lemon ntop]# ntop -w 4000 > ntop v.1.3.1 MT [i686-pc-linux] listening on [eth0]. > Copyright 1998-2000 by Luca Deri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Get the freshest ntop from http://www.ntop.org/ > > Initialising... > Loading plugins (if any)... > WARNING: Unable to find the plugins/ directory. If you can't thing of anything else, then use strace. Specifically something like: strace ntop -w 4000 And with some filtering: strace ntop -w 4000 2>&1 |egrep ^(open|stat) To see what files is ntop looking for. > Waiting for HTTP connections on port 4000... > Sniffying... > > Unloading plugins (if any)... > 0 packets received by filter on eth0 > 0 packets dropped by kernel > 0 packets dropped by ntop > > [root@lemon ntop]# cd /var/ntop/ > [root@lemon ntop]# ls -l > total 3676 > -rw------- 1 root root 76574720 Dec 5 09:42 core > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 Dec 4 18:01 logger.db > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12288 Dec 4 17:59 ntop.db > -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12396 Dec 4 17:59 ntop_pw.db > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Burton M.
