Need the EXACT messages you are getting, etc.

I will say I've never heard of ntop.sh, so I really can't answer for
problems with it.

I have compiled and run ntop 2.1.2 on FreeBSD 5.0...

If you chown nobody, does root have read/write access?  Otherwise, it will
not retrieve the password, think it's not defined and ask you for it...

Subject: [Ntop] {FreeBSD 4.5-R] NTOP-2.1.2 Isn't Working Properly
Anymore....



    Love NTOP, since I started using it a couple of weeks ago.  I installed
it from the ntop-2.0.tgz FBSD-specific pkg.  Worked almost exactly as
expected and was installed and operational in less than five mins.  Okay,
I see what mite be bugs in the system, so I d/l the latest tarball (2.1.2)
and
did the following:

1)  ./configure ; gmake ; gmake install
2)  edit ntop.sh
2a) add args = -S1 -P /var/db/ntop ; interface = wi0
3)  chown nobody /var/db/ntop

That's it.  Only now NTOP is really acting buggy.  I put the startup script
in the bild directory and run it w/ max debug msgs (-t5) and don't see any
errors.  That is, except for a never-ending stream of 'Host not found'
messages sent to the console.  Also, the Stats:Network Load link doesn't
display graphs any more !  A single link is presented w/ the date/time,
which displays the table w/ the top three sending/receiving hosts on
a minute-by-minute basis.

    Another observation:  prior to adding the -S1 option, NTOP used
the directory spec'd by the -P option.  However, upon adding the -S1
option, it immed prompted for the pswd again and placed the *.db
files in /usr/local/var/ntop !  That's not mentioned in the man
page, so I presume that's is a bug ?

    If I re-install the 2.0 pkg, NTOP is operational again.  So my
question is:  what did I do wrong w/ 2.1.2 ?
