Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to ask for someone to provide advice to the ntop project
(http://www.ntop.org) on porting to FreeBSD.

There are a number of problems with ntop (1.3.2 26th October) on
FreeBSD (eg Mr Petri's letter of a few weeks ago) among them that when
it's built with pthread support (-pthread), it uses all of the CPU
(built without pthread support, it behaves). 

The problems are manifested on FreeBSD 4.x.

ntop is able to use threads on many other platforms.

ntop is a wonderful monitor. If you have ever wanted RMON2 like ability
in software with a browser interface, ntop is for you.

There is a port of ntop (for 1.1) but it displays the same CPU hogging
behaviour as the later version. 

There has been no response from the ntop FreeBSD port mailing list. 

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,


S Hopcroft
