Ran for weeks, until the box was upgraded to RH's 2.4.18-18 kernel, which didn't like ntop and/or vice versa. In my own house (surf traffic only) lan, I tried it on a 450MHz K6-2 with both 128 and 384 MB, and it died (out of lonelyness?) in an average 5 minutes. ..Luca, Burton, what do you guys need us to test? -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
