Thanks Alan,

 

Are you saying that the -use-syslog switch has to have a parameter
passed with it?  It was my understanding that if none was specified then
it would use a default.

Subject: [Ntop] won't start as a service

 

 

I have installed NTOP on top of CentOS 4.5.  >From the command line I
can run 

 

[r...@snort1dev ntop]# ntop --user ntop --db-file-path /var/ntop
--interface eth0  --https-server 3001 --use-syslog

 

But if I try to start it as a service using the following conf file

 

--user ntop

--db-file-path /var/ntop

--interface eth0

--https-server 3001

--use-syslog

 

I get the following error:-

 

[r...@snort1dev ntop]# service ntop start

Starting ntop:    Processing file /etc/ntop.conf for parameters...

Wed Apr 22 10:27:46 2009  NOTE: Interface merge enabled by default

Wed Apr 22 10:27:46 2009  Initializing gdbm databases

FATAL ERROR: Unrecognized/unprocessed ntop options...

       --user ntop , --db-file-path /var/ntop  , --interface eth0  ,
--https-server 3001, --use-syslog,

 

run ntop --help for usage information

 

    Common problems:

        -B "filter expressions" (quotes are required)

        --use-syslog=facilty (the = is required)

 

                                                           [FAILED]

 

And I am running out of hair to pull out!!

Phil Ruscoe
