I've downloaded and recompiled the latest CVS (2002-03-14) and am having problems with 
defining flow information in a file (i.e. -F my.flows).  When I run ntop I get the 
error 
message:

14/Mar/2002 16:56:06 [util.c:773] Wrong flow specification "'net 10.169.0.0/16'"
��������" (missing '). It has been ignored.

The my.flows file was made with pico (I'm on a RH 7.2 2.4.9-31 i386 box) and contains 
only one line (until I can get it to work):

WVH='net 10.169.0.0/16'

There are no carrage-returns or any other hidden characters in there.

The exact same definition ( -F "WVH='net 10.169.0.0/16'" ) works fine on the command 
line.

What am I doing wrong?  BTW, this same error occured with an older version of ntop and 
different versions of libpcap (0.4 and 0.6) if that helps any...  I looked at the 
util.c 
source and couldn't see what might be wrong - but then again my C sucks bigtime :-)

Any help would be great.  It would really be nice if all the command line arguments, 
flow settings (-F) and local subnets (-m) could be put together in a single ntop.conf 
file.  The command to fire ntop up gets really scary if I try to do all the configs on 
the command line.  Any chance that may be implemented? Or is it already and I just 
missed it?
