Hi all,
I am a newbee. I am trying to run ntop as non-root and this is what I get:
$ ./ntop -u <user-not-root>
Wed Jun 22 18:53:17 2005 Initializing gdbm databases
Wed Jun 22 18:53:17 2005 **WARNING** You need root capabilities to
capture network packets.
Please enter the root password:
Wed Jun 22 18:53:19 2005 **ERROR** The specified root password is not
correct.
Wed Jun 22 18:53:19 2005 **ERROR** Sorry, ntop uses network
interface(s) in promiscuous mode, so it needs root permission to run.
Is there a work around this? I want ntop to use the netflow data that is
being captured.
Thanks,
Amit
