I really am supprized at how little cpu this actually takes! Still looking at gdb traces to see why it failes in the main home page (statistics page)

Actually, looks like its: --set-pcap-nonblock Not: > Tried both versions of pcap with this: > --pcap_setnonblock Or --pcap-setnonblock Man ntop says: Unix options: [-d|--daemon] [-i|--interface <name>] [-u|--user <user>] [-K|--enable- debug] [-L] [--pcap_setnonblock] [--use-syslog= <facility>] [--web- server-queue <number>] I went back and looked at my freebsd(4.4) notes, and only way I could get it to work was to use the nonblocking option (also suggest niceing to 20 or something!) Also had to specifically put the arguments in a specific order or it would not work. Start it WITHOUT the -d option (but with: /usr/local/bin/ntop $args > /dev/null 2>&1 & Either case, didn't help. Could fix the documentation to document correct usage of --set-pcap-nonblock (or not bother since it doesn't work anyway) If any users have it working, well, maybe an old version? (I had an old 2.x version running) Or maybe the threat interaction with HTT p4's is causing it trouble, I will get the gdb traces in a short time, but could still be a freebsd pthread problem. (wonder if we could use the linix-pthreads instead?)

Ntop keeps segfaulting. After an upgrade to 6.0-RELEASE it works flawlessly. No clue what the problem was :o).
