Not necessary. I've got a patch in the works to restore --set-pcap-nonblocking. Yes, according to the man page it doesn't work with pcap_loop (but it does) and it shouldn't be necessary (but it is).
With the wider range of threading libraries now available under FreeBSD, it's obviously NOT necessary for some 4.x users (and probably not necessary for the current 5.x - I'm not sure about 5.1/5.2). But both you and I have the problem in late 4.x - my install is pure vanilla from the 4.10 .iso cds. So unlike 3.0, where we thought we understood who did need the option and who didn't, and so we had code in configureextra/FREEBSD, this time we won't try to be clever. S'be'it - for ntop 3.1 this will be an option - both command line and web page (but you'll need to try the command line first, since without it, you couldn't get to the web page to set it). If you need it, set it, but try without first. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stanley Hopcroft Sent: Sunday, December 19, 2004 6:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Ntop] Re: 3.1 web server fails to respond on FBSDWas:NtopCVSfails to compile on FreeBSD 4 Dear Sir, I am writing to thank you for your letter and say, On Sat, Dec 18, 2004 at 07:53:20AM -0600, Burton Strauss wrote: > > The only solution I've found is to put back some form of the > --set-pcap-nonblock code from 3.0 that got ripped out. > I agree; FreeBSD 4.x is dead in the water for 3.1 ntop.
