- README for iftop
- $Id: README,v 1.8 2003/06/06 22:42:34 pdw Exp $
- Read the INSTALL file, manual page and source code for more information.
- iftop must be run as root.
- KNOWN ISSUES
- RedHat 7.2:
- There is a bug in the version of ncurses distibuted with RedHat 7.2 that
- will cause iftop to segfault. The RPM in RedHat's Rawhide distribution
- fixes this.
- Slackware 8.1:
- You may need to upgrade your libpcap (by updating the tcpdump package)
- in order to compile iftop.
- FreeBSD 4.7:
- This version of FreeBSD lacks a proper gethostbyaddr_r function. You should
- choose an alternative name resolution technique using the --with-resolver=...
- option to configure.
- Solaris:
- On Solaris, iftop has to run in promiscuous mode in order to capture
- outgoing packets. iftop autoconfigures to run in promiscuous mode on
- Solaris, but will filter out non-broadcast packets which are not
- addressed to or from localhost. On Solaris, the -p option merely
- disables that filter.
- If you have some other sort of system that behaves like Solaris in
- needing promiscuous mode, you can pass --enable-default-promiscuous to
- configure to enable this behavior.
- Cf. http://www.tcpdump.org/lists/workers/2002/02/msg00010.html
- The version of curses distributed with Solaris may not be sufficient for
- iftop's needs. You will probably need ncurses or similar.
