[Devil-Linux-discuss] Using Ntop on Devil-Linux

[scj6771 <sco...@ho...>]

Just got my DL firewall up and running (thanks to you all!) and to be honest
with you I am not sure what to do next (extreme DL newb here!), I wanted to
see it in action so to speak so I set the NTOP service to run at bootup but
not sure what to do after that? It seems to fail?

Again let me be clear, I am a Linux newbie so go easy on me. I just want to
see what is going on in real time.

On a side note, I am using PuTTY to gain access to this box. Thanks for all
your help.
