It is from a yum package on Fedora 11. Version 3.3.9. All I did was a yum install ntop shortly after a fresh install of Fedora.
I have rebooted the system and it free'd up like 20 gig in disk space, and once I started ntop my disk space starting being used like a half a meg a second until I stopped ntop again with rrd disabled. I think I'm going to compile ntop from scratch and see if this clears things up next week. Thanks for the help. On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 9:55 PM, Gary Gatten<[email protected]> wrote: > No clue then.
