You start ntop running as root. It tests for nmap and also opens the interface (libpcap) in promiscuous mode before it gives up privledges.
If you can't start ntop as root, then use the -s | --no-promiscuous flag and don't expect to be able to use nmap. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of raptor Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 4:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Ntop] no OS scan ? Hi, Here is what I see in the logs : ***TCP/IP fingerprinting (for OS scan) requires root privileges which you do not appear to possess. Sorry, dude. ok.. how can I when ntop runs as ntop user not like root make OS fingerprinting available ?!?! thanx raptor _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ntop.org/mailman/listinfo/ntop _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ntop.org/mailman/listinfo/ntop
