1) Please take messages for the development version to ntop-dev. That's
where you'll see the cvs commit messages and know what's going on.
The constant is hard coded many times in graph.c, but always as
/tmp/ntop-graph-..... The actual message is in util.c in
getNewRandomFile().
It's almost a trivial pattern - each graph routine looks like this:
void hostTrafficDistrib(HostTraffic *theHost, short dataSent) {
char fileName[NAME_MAX] = "/tmp/ntop-graph-XXXXXX";
<snip />
fd = getNewRandomFile(fileName, NAME_MAX); /* leave it inside the
mutex */
Looking at the code, I can see that the -XXXXXX is not necessary except
under Windows where it uses tmpnam() <gack/> But it doesn't hurt anything.
What I can't see is how it gets truncated to 3 chars.
All I can think is that NAME_MAX is too small on your OS.
The definition is in globals-defines.h:
/*
* This is POSIX, but might not be set - see <dirent.h>
*/
#ifndef NAME_MAX
#define NAME_MAX 255
#endif
So can you check dirent.h and see (it may not be there, you might have to
recursively grep in /usr/include for NAME_MAX then grep that set for a
#define, e.g. (Linux):
$ grep -R NAME_MAX /usr/include/* | grep '#define'
which gives
...
/usr/include/linux/limits.h:#define NAME_MAX 255 /* # chars
in a
file name */
...
Either that or there's some odd link as /tmp? Something root can write to
but other's can't??
