STFW for "Host not found, try again." -- it's a dns message. There's probably a debug/error trap line in ntop that's causing the "problem message" to be written out as it's received. If you've got the -d flag, then it would be a printf or similar function not a traceEvent() call. no clue where it's coming from - look in the dns sniffing code as a guess.

Is it a DNS issue? > I'm trying to figure what's going wrong on my own (there are a couple of other issues besides this 'Host not found' msg), but what I discovered is that the ownership of addressCache.db is always changed to root w/ ea invocation of NTOP, even though I've explicitly changed ownership of the file and it's data directory to the nobody user.
