At that point in the code, ntop has not yet shed privileges. So the databases are owned by root.
It must be that the save is failing and the return code isn't checked. See docs/1STRUN.txt for how to do this correctly. I'll look at trapping the open error and stopping w/ a reasonable message. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Stanley Hopcroft Sent: Tuesday, May 07, 2002 3:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Ntop] Another problem: please enter the admin password ... Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing again wrt to Ntop 3 May snap to say that in an attempt to deal with the premature ending (of ntop), I changed the owner of the Ntop database directory to the user Ntop runs as. Thereupon, when it started, after the usal start messages, these messages would pour out incessantly, Please enter the password for the admin user: Please enter the password for the admin user: Please enter the password for the admin user: Please enter the password for the admin user: Please enter the password for the admin user: Please enter the password for the admin user: I tried returning the owner to root before starting ntop, but the messages started again. Recompiling ntop and deleting the file (then mkdir as root) had the same result. Yours sincerely. -- _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
