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.
