Hello,
I have spent 1 entire week trying to make NTOP work right. A complete week
devoted to NTOP. I tried, I really did try, but I am sorry, I am bailing out ...
And with a conclusion: This is the BUGGIEST SOFTWARE I have ever encountered on
*nix!
RH 7.1/6.2, kernel 2.4.2/2.2.16, PIII 866 MHz, 512MB RAM, 10 Mbps connection,
all NTOP versions (cvs, beta, stable, rpms), all pcap versions (0.4, 0.6.2, rpms),
all openssl versions (0.9.5, 0.9.6, 0.9.6a, rpms), all gdbm versions, all versions
of all software!
Could not get one compilation that would work properly as it is stated:
1. Dumps core right away, dumps core after few hours of usage, seg faults with
no core dumps ...
2. One version seg faults when ssl connected from Internet Explorer but works ok
from Netscape, another version does not seg fault but gives 'no data' ...
3. No version saves states between invocations.
4. Some version shows local usage fine, other version does not show anything.
5. The version that shows local usage fine show all hosts as a single host in
L->R, the version that shows L->R as it should be does not show local usage at
all.
6. Some versions work without specifying a filter, others don't.
7. Traffic shows double.
However, I know how to give credit when the credit is due: NTOP is a very nice
tool, many thanks to the developers.
I was planning to contribute some books from amazon.com, but after all those
problems that plagued my compilations, I guess I will send you some wood!
If anyone has it fully working with all the functions under RH 7.1, I would be
forever debtful if you can send me the binaries and info about the installed
software on your system. I am already bailing out, but I might consider a
comeback!
Have a good day!
