i under stand that the diff between -u root and -u ntop but what files does ntop have to read and write to operate, if i can check that i can validate if there is a perm problem or not becuase root can do the stuff but ntop cannot.
is there a tool i can run ntop under that would log or show files its trying to access and it if failed/succeeded? also i tried the make install-local-data, it says ... no rule to make target im running make install-local-data in the ntop dir of the source code. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Burton Strauss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2003 11:24 AM Subject: Re: [Ntop] web page not displaying information when running as -u ntop > Think > > -u root means that you don't drop root's privledges, so pretty much you can read any file. > > -u ntop means you run with ntop's privledges, and MUST - as ntop - be able to read the files you're trying to copy... > > If you can't see the files as root, then your install probably failed.
