I can't suggest as to why it's locking down the system. As there's really not enough information to go on. What I can say is that the 1st time I tried to use it (on 3.2-STABLE) it would just core dump on me. Now, (on 3.3-STABLE) it does run, but it sucks down CPU time like there's no tomorrow. Do you have multiple interfaces on the machine? If so try running it on an alternate interface and see if it's somehow taking down that interface or really locking the machine. Alternatively, try running it WITH the GENERIC kernel and see if there is any difference (bpf is in the GENERIC 3.3 kernel). I've personally given up on ntop and now use trafshow. It seems more stable. At least for me it is. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Antti Kantee [SMTP:pooka@iki.fi] > Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 1999 8:49 AM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: trouble with ntop & 3.3-RELEASE > > I have a box I remote administer but ever since I upgraded from a > snapshot between 3.0 and 3.1 to 3.3-RELEASE I've had problems.
