Hi all, I´m running ntop-3.3.6-1.el5.rf (installed with $yum install
ntop) in a CentOS release 5.2.
When I execute "$service ntop start" it returns de following error:
Starting ntop: Processing file /etc/ntop.conf for parameters...
Mon Oct 6 11:31:25 2008 NOTE: Interface merge enabled by default
Mon Oct 6 11:31:25 2008 Initializing gdbm databases
FATAL ERROR: Unrecognized/unprocessed ntop options...
, --user ntop, ,
--db-file-path /var/ntop, , --interface eth0,eth1, , ,
--use-syslog=local1, , , --http-server 3200, , --https-server
3203, , , , --daemon,
run ntop --help for usage information
Common problems:
-B "filter expressions" (quotes are required)
--use-syslog=facilty (the = is required)
My /etc/ntop.conf config is:
### Sets the user that ntop runs as.
### NOTE: This should not be root unless you really understand the
security risks.
--user ntop
### Sets the directory that ntop runs from.
--db-file-path /var/ntop
### Interface(s) that ntop will capture on (default: eth0)
--interface eth0,eth1
### Configures ntop not to trust MAC addrs. This is used when port
mirroring or SPAN
#--no-mac
### Logging messages to syslog (instead of the console):
### NOTE: To log to a specific facility, use --use-syslog=local3
### NOTE: The = is REQUIRED and no spaces are permitted.
--use-syslog=local1
### Tells ntop to track only local hosts as specified by the
#--local-subnets option
#--track-local-hosts
### Sets the port that the HTTP webserver listens on
### NOTE: --http-server 3000 is the default
--http-server 3200
### Sets the port that the optional HTTPS webserver listens on
--https-server 3203
### Sets the networks that ntop should consider as local.
### NOTE: Uses dotted decimal and CIDR notation. Example: ###192.168.0.0/24
### The addresses of the interfaces are always local and don't
need to be specified.
#--local-subnets xx.xx.xx.xx/yy
### Sets the domain. ntop should be able to determine this automatically.
#--domain mydomain.com
### Sets program to run as a daemon
### NOTE: For more than casual use, you probably want this.
--daemon
But if I execute at the command line the following:
$ntop -w 3200 -W 3203 -i eth0,eth1 -d -L -a /var/log/ntop.log -u ntop
It works fine!
I have the local1 facility in my /etc/sylog.conf like follows:
local1.* /var/log/ntop.log
I would be very pleasant if anyone could tell me something to try in my
configuration.
Best regards,
Miguel A.Velasco
