>From docs/FAQ: Q. How do you reset Admin password if we lost it? A. Delete ntop_pw.db and follow the procedure in docs/1STRUN.txt
Besides being in the source, docs/FAQ is available from ntop in the About | Help page: FAQ As part of the source distribution, an 'ntop FAQ' is in the docs directory. An automated (and therefore not terribly well formatted) version from the source used to create this ntop installation is available here. -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of LOEWENTHAL Simon Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 6:40 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Ntop] How to reset ntop's forgotten admin password. Thanks Burton. > Read docs/FAQ ... I can't find these on the ntop.org website, nor in the software distribution nor on the application webpage :( I looked under the docs section of http://www.ntop.org/ntop.html but the only useful thing it lists is the ntop man page, which meantions the -A option but not how to use it. So I took a guess as shown below but got it wrong. (I have moved the password dB file) # ntop -A segmentation dump Added -A to ntop.conf: # /etc/init.d/cswntop start No password database ! # man ntop Nothing there as the file is empty. 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Feb 4 14:00 ./cat8/ntop.8 There is a reference on the docs page to a Users' Guide, but as the page says, 'it is drafted and out of date'. There is no link to the actual document. Do you know what the correct syntax is? I think that I might have to start ntop in terminal mode to do this, but omitting the -d option does this so ntop -A should be OK?

Hi there everyone, My first post to this list and 'tis one with a silly question: I have forgotten my admin password for ntop and need to reset it. I know that it is inside the ntop_pw.db file, but I can't extact the password. How would I reset it? Many thanks, Simon. --- ISG/Gemini South/AURA +56.51.205610 www.gemini.edu -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
