Hello Burton,

No, it doesn´t seem so. Tried it with commata, doesn´t work either. Even 
reducing the subnets.txt to just one entry to check it don´t work it produces 
the exactly same error:

It's accepting the first row, correct?

What happens with the @file option is that it strings together the
characters ignoring line breaks, extra white space, etc.

So where from the command line you would enter

-m 192.168.17.0/24,172.16.0.0/16,...,10.96.4.0/22

You need to put the file together to it ends up 'the same'.  Otherwise, the
parser will see each of the additional options as extra (unknown) options
and reject them.

Put ,s after each line except the last so your file looks like

192.168.17.0/24,
172.16.0.0/16,
...
10.96.4.0/22

That will create the 'right' -m parameter.

What i´m baffled about is the pcap_open_offline statement. It seems pcap is
trying to open an existing savedump file called like a subnet? Why should it
do such a thing a the startup of ntop? There wouldn´t be such a file at this
time. Or am i getting this wrong?
