Hi Luca, Thanks for quick response. I will be glad to try and debug the problem. I have not found any documents that would point me in the direction concerning the spawning of the running ntop process. Is there any high level architecture documents? If you have any idea as to where to start looking within the code that would be great. Also what system do you find ntop to work best on.
