Topic: ntop 2.1.2 Initial success

[rob]

I have installed this on two sme5.12 servers
* one with many addons
* one completely virgin + Portforwarding and standard blades

ntop runs very well for a while on both machines and then stops responding this happens within an hour of starting

if i do a service ntop restart  the stop line gets a fail and then starts ok

if i look at processes usually there are none

if i look in the logs/messages I can find entries for it starting but none for the it stopping

any ideas?
