Hi all, thanks very much for your comments Burton Strauss III. Folowwing
your instrucctions I´ve tried the next options in /etc/ntop.conf, all
unsuccesfully:
Case 1:
--user=ntop
--db-file-path=/var/ntop
--interface=eth0,eth1,tun0
--use-syslog=local1
--http-server=3200
--https-server=3203
--daemon
Case 2
--user=ntop
--db-file-path=/var/ntop
--interface=eth0,eth1,tun0
--access-log-file=/var/log/ntop.log
--http-server=3200
--https-server=3203
Case 3:
-u=ntop
-i=eth0,eth1,tun0
-a=/var/log/ntop.log
-w=3200
-W=3203
In all cases I have obtained a "FATAL ERROR: Unrecognized/unprocessed
ntop options..." with the options specified in /etc/ntop.conf
Maybe I didn´t understand you correctly ....
Thanks all again for your time.
