Hello,

Ntop is a recent discovery for me. Very nice program. I installed it (by
rpm) on my Mandrake 9.1 (HIGHER SECURITY setting, with grsecurity kernel).
This machine is a router with 4 eth cards. Program seems to run fine except
after a day or two of running, ntop dies and i find this in the dmesg:

(209.53.236.250 is my windows workstation IP, not the ntop machine)

grsec: more signal warnings, logging disabled for 10 seconds

----------------------------------
Sometimes ntop will run for a few days, other times just a few hrs.
Also, I want to be able to store the data ( as in using the -S 1 switch )
but if I do this, ntop dies within minutes with same/similar messages in
dmesg.

I believe if I boot the Mandrake machine up using the non-grsec/security
kernel I would have no problems, but I do not want to do this. A few hours
on google didnt seem to produce any useful hints. Anybody have any ideas on
how to get ntop and grsec to play togather?

RPM was ntop-2.1.3-1mdk.i586.rpm

Thx,
Brian Millar
