Hello there, each day each question :-) I am after a net monitoring application so I can monitor all XP's nodes on LAN. My wants is to know exactly how much data up/down monthly for each node. Assume my server runs 24/7 but ppp0 (a dialup connection) sometimes disconnects ntop / darkstat ..is that good enough to monitor those i want? anyway, i ve tried ntop with no success. the error likes that: --- Wed Aug 4 14:11:19 2004 Initializing ntop Wed Aug 4 14:11:20 2004 Checking eth0 for additional devices Wed Aug 4 14:11:20 2004 Resetting traffic statistics for device eth0 Wed Aug 4 14:11:20 2004 DLT: Device 0 [eth0] is 1, mtu 1514, header 14 Wed Aug 4 14:11:20 2004 Initializing gdbm databases Wed Aug 4 14:11:20 2004 Now running as requested user 'nobody' (99:99) Wed Aug 4 14:11:20 2004 **FATAL_ERROR** ....open of /usr/local/var/ntop/prefsCache.db failed: File open error Wed Aug 4 14:11:20 2004 1. Is another instance of ntop running? Wed Aug 4 14:11:20 2004 2. Make sure that the use you specified can write in the target directory --- any idea? thanks and regards dphan
