i attempted to reinstall then i got the following error (there shouldnt have been probs with user rights because it worked for a while)

Starting service ntop /usr/sbin/rcntop: line 69: 11818 Segmentation fault sudo -u $NTOP_USER /usr/sbin/passcheck

ntop admin password is not yet set. Run ntop -A -u wwwrun manually unused

it complains that i need to manually assign the pass and so i have done but i keep getting the same error message,

Make sure that wwwrun is set as the NTOP_USER in /etc/sysconfig/ntop

And did you do the above? You must run ntop -A -u wwwrun to build the correct databases. You might want to blow away anything in /var/lib/ntop before doing so, that way, any messed up stuff from your prior attempts won't get in the way. And double check that /var/lib/ntop is readable and writable by wwwuser Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.8-24.10-default x86_64

I have the same problem with ntop. I did as you suggested above, but it still fails with the segfault when it tries to run passcheck. Has anybody managed to get ntop to start with the rc script? -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~

Works fine here. Check your /etc/sysconfig/ntop file, make sure you have the wwwuser set as the NTOP_USER Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.8-24.11-default x86_64

Yes, I checked and double-checked. the NTOP_USER is set to wwwuser. It works fine on a 9.0 box, but not on 9.2. I tried it on two different 9.2 boxes and both give me the same problem. -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~

Actually, that should be wwwrun not wwwuser. NTOP_USER="wwwrun" Scott -- POPFile, the OpenSource EMail Classifier http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Linux 2.6.8-24.11-default x86_64

NTOP_USER="wwwrun"

No, it still does not work. It will only work if I comment the first part of the if statement that does the 'sudo -u wwwrun /usr/sbin/passcheck' in the /etc/init.d/ntop script. If I just run: sudo -u wwwrun /usr/sbin/passcheck in a terminal, I get a Segmentation fault. If I just run passcheck, then it does not Segfault. So it seems that sudo and passcheck does not play together well. -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~

I just did another little test with passcheck. The problem is not sudo, but passcheck. If you run passcheck as a non-root user, then it segfaults. It will only run as root. -- Andre Truter | Software Engineer | Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 | AIM: trusoftzaf | http://www.trusoft.za.org ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~
