Burton, Thanks for the assistance. I can't get ntop to run in debug mode at all. It slides into daemon mode regardless of the -K option. Using --enable-debug causes it to spit out all help options. The logs do show it switching to user ntop. They also show some AS-list.txt file is missing. I used the ntop-3.1-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm to install with. I've just removed the rpm using -e and am now downloading the cvs. I'll let you know if I'm still having problems after installing it from cvs. Thanks for your help. ========================= Kevin W.
