Well, do you care about that data? The message is just a pass through from rrd in turn from the OS when rrd_update tried to open the file.
It often happens if you run ntop as root for testing that you create .rrd files that the -u user can't read/write later on. If so, executing this as root (or some such that makes sense with your -u userid): chmod -R ntop:ntop /usr/share/ntop/rrd/* will fix the whole bunch. -----Burton > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Kent Emia > Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2004 12:18 AM > To: nTOP > Subject: [Ntop] viewing some logs > > > just this day i tried to monitor the messages in /var/log using tail -f > and found this out ... > > ===================== > > Jul 1 13:14:36 localhost ntop[2958]: **WARNING** RRD: > rrd_update(/var/ntop/rrd/interfaces/eth0/IP_X11Bytes.rrd) error: opening > '/var/ntop/rrd/interfaces/eth0/IP_X11Bytes.rrd': Permission denied > Jul 1 13:14:36 localhost ntop[2958]: **WARNING** RRD: > rrd_update(/var/ntop/rrd/interfaces/eth0/IP_GnutellaBytes.rrd) error: > opening '/var/ntop/rrd/interfaces/eth0/IP_GnutellaBytes.rrd': Permission > denied > Jul 1 13:14:36 localhost ntop[2958]: **WARNING** RRD: > rrd_update(/var/ntop/rrd/interfaces/eth0/IP_eDonkeyBytes.rrd) error: > opening '/var/ntop/rrd/interfaces/eth0/IP_eDonkeyBytes.rrd': Permission > denied > ==================== > > now should i bother about this ??? > > > -- > ========= > Kent Emia > Registered Linux User # 342784 > ========= > -- > > _______________________________________________ > Ntop mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop _______________________________________________ Ntop mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listgateway.unipi.it/mailman/listinfo/ntop
