>Description:

A patch in the port tree disables ntop's -w option. Unfortunately it is a weird behaviour for people that don't know about this patch. I propose to add a simple line into ntop's man page.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install /usr/ports/net/ntop

# ntop -w 8080
-w mode is disabled for security reasons.

>Fix:

Add a patch in the port tree, for:

--- ntop.8.orig Mon Oct 15 17:38:31 2001
+++ ntop.8      Mon Oct 15 17:43:48 2001

 Please note that an HTTP server is NOT
 needed in order to use the program in interactive mode.
 .
+For security reasons, this option has been deactivated in port's version of ntop.
+.
 
 .It -d
 This flag (it has to be used with -w) causes ntop to become a daemon, i.e. it is started in background and detached from the terminal.
