Can you guys keep the ntop daemon up?

I can't keep it running for more than 24 hours on either of the 2 systems I have running.

Pretty common problem with ntop and FreeBSD. ntop has threading bugs that don't occur in Linux but happen in FreeBSD, and the ntop developers don't care to fix them.

Never crashes for us running pfsense 1.0.1.



# use libthr instead of pthread lib
libpthread.so.2         libthr.so.2
libpthread.so           libthr.so

Also, as a normal install process on FreeBSD 6.x, we install the following in our libmap.conf file to use the 1:1 threading library, which seems to make some apps work better (such as mysql when we're forced to use it). You should give that a shot. Edit /etc/libmap.conf to add these lines, then restart ntop and see what happens.
