@(#) $Header: INSTALL

If you have not built libpcap, do so first.  See the README file in
this directory for the ftp location.

After libpcap has been built (either install it or make sure it's in
../libpcap), edit the BINDEST and MANDEST paths in Makefile.in and run
./configure (a shell script).  "configure" will determine your system
attributes and generate an appropriate Makefile from Makefile.in.  Now
build ntop by running "make".  (If your system is not listed in the
README as one which we have tested, you may have to modify the
configure script and Makefile.in.  Please send us patches for any
modifications you need to make.)

If everything builds ok, su and type "make install" (and optionally
"make install-man). This will install ntop and the manual entry. By
default, ntop is installed with group execute permissions. The
group used depends on your os. In addition, BPF packet access is
controlled by permissions to /dev/bpf0. In any case, DO NOT give
untrusted users the capability of running ntop. ntop can
capture any traffic on your net, including passwords.
