<p class=MsoNormal>I don’t know why I haven’t signed up for this
list before since we use CentOS all over the place. The list is very
useful and it is good for me to participate and “give back” to the
community.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Anywho, I wanted to post this response to a thread that was
created back in November 2008 about the ntop daemon failing to start. I’m
currently setting up ntop as a NetFlow & SFlow collector and came across
the issue. A quick refresher, the init script for ntop has an issue where
it can’t parse the ntop.conf file correctly if switches are entered
before the “@/etc/ntop.conf”. The suggested work around was
to move the “-d –L” switches from in front of the “@/etc/ntop.conf”
and put them behind it. This is definitely the fix. There is a caveat
to that and I haven’t found anyone that has mentioned it so I thought I
would. According to the documentation, if you add the switches after the “@/etc/ntop.conf”
those will override the configurations in the ntop.conf file. While this
isn’t an issue with the “-d” option, if you decide to use a
custom syslog level and add it to the conf file, the “-L” switch
after the conf file will override your custom log facility. In my init
file I left the “-d” but removed the “-L” expecting me
to put my own syslog entry in the conf file.<o:p></o:p></p>
