Got the CVS ntop announced today by Burton, and immediately installed
it on my test box (Linux, not the Mac I was previously talking about).
First thing I did (once I got it up and running) was to run a capture
file which I have previously used with the 3.0 stable version. To my
surprise, the data in the Host fingerprints (Local + Remote) section
is different between the two versions, and not in regards to the OS's
identified (which would be normal, if the signatures were newer), but
rather in regards to the content of the cells corresponding to
identified hosts - for example:

ntop 3.0 stable:
host with IP1, identified as Windows XP/ME/2K, has as entries all
usernames attempted in various sessions (2 SMTP, 5 FTP)
ntop 3.1 from CVS:
host with IP1, identified as "precisely" Windows 2K (more specific -
good thing, I guess) has only a few entries in the cell (only 1 FTP
and 2 SMTP entries)

Doing an ngrep for the strings (usernames) identified with ntop 3.0
==> found them all in the capture file. So the question is: what
changed in 3.1 that leaves such entries out?!?

TIA,
Stef
