I've compiled gdbm /=20 compiled ntop ..... noticed it found SSL and incorporated that, so=20 at least this here beast isn't wide open to all the merryhackers When I run /usr/local/bin/ntop, it returns=20 '/usr/local/var/ntop/dnsCache.db' open failed OK so I figure I'll fix this sucker by creating a blank dnsCache.db = using makemap hash on a blank dnsCache ..... that returns '/usr/local/var/ntop/dnsCache.db' open failed: Bad magic number 'Possible solution: please use '-P <directory>' Well that didn't work ..... so lets make a blank /tmp/ntop directory& = make it world read / write ...... that returns=20 '/usr/local/var/ntop/dnsCache.db' open failed OK so lets see now ..... looks to me like ntop can actually SEE the = blank db but it doesn't like what it sees so it spits the dummy So where to from here ?? ........ anyone have suggestions ?? FWIW, at end of gdbm compile there was a message I didn't understand = about linking something or other ....... could that be a factor ?? ------=_NextPart_000_02FD_01C069C2.5695BE80 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.50.4134.600" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I'm (still !!!!) messing about with = ntop=20 configuration ..... now its the </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>latest snapshot in a 4.1 RELEASE = system.
