I have adjusted the startup parms for ntop, parallel to Gary's values,
however I still get the message:
**ERROR** Bad magic number (expected=1968/real=0)
getNextHost()[address.c/54]
followed by either a crash or a hang-up.
My startup is:
/usr/bin/ntop -i eth3 @/etc/ntop.conf -d -t 5 -x 131072 -X 131072 -O -K -d
I have tried various combinations of x and X hoping to adjust the hash
tables but this did not help.
1) Is there an older stable release of ntop that will circumvent this
2) Or is there a fix that I am unaware of
Perhaps there is a way to track file and memory usage to arrive at more
objective values for the x's
Thanks
Fritz
