A search for 'ntop faq' finds my HMTLized copy as the first hit. Can't search the archives? I usually recommend gmane (www.gmane.org), but that site may having index problems - however an email to Lars (which I've just sent) has always fixed things quickly in the past. Google: mySQL site:listgateway.unipi.it (You can further use the advanced search page to restrict it to the last 6 months) Let's see ... other than five or six answers to your question, there's this: http://listgateway.unipi.it/pipermail/ntop/2004-June/008373.html "[Ntop] collecting traffic info on an sql server", a set of scripts to collect the ntop data into a sql database that a user was kind enough to post. -----Burton > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Davis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 10:30 AM > To: Burton M.
