Luca,

....eeeeer.....yes. I'm unexperienced using a debugger on linux.....but i'm not 
totally dumb, so if you could lend me a hand and tell me how to start. Ntop is 
installed as a package, i have not compiled it. So the first step sould be to 
download the source and compile it?

Thanks for your quick reply,
  Thorsten

Betreff: Re: [Ntop] ntop records "null"......

Thorsten
I bet it's a packet that causes a loop while decoding it. A DNS/DHCP packet is 
a good candidate. Can you please investigate with a debugger and report to me?

Thanks, Luca
