Let me know... Also: I've created a large patch of many minor fixes back-ported from 2.2.1+ which would make up the ntop 2.2b (or is it 2.2c...) I'd like somebody else to test the patch, however, before I commit it... volunteers??

I have to watch the thing like a hawk though, one time I let a 2.2 build run for a couple of hours, and it ate so much system resources that it actually managed to bring down the kernel to the point where I couldn't ping the box and had to hard reset it (that's the only time that box has EVER done that, it's a brand new Dell server running SuSE 8.1, so I have to think that was the cause, although it *could* have been coincidental...?) It's not running glibc 2.3, but maybe those patches will also fix whatever's causing this problem... and I don't really know what patches SuSE has made against their glibc 2.2.x in 8.1, either, so i'll let you know how it works. If it fails, it usually does so within an hour. --- "Burton M.
