I just started using ntop (network top) today, and it seems like a cool and useful tool. has anyone else used it/had any experience with it? I might like to leave it running for some time; but I see that it runs as root (it's installed SUID by default). I decided to try chrooting it (partly as a learning exercise with chroot); but I can't seem to make chroot work. :( here's how I have things set up so far: [root at loop /home/ntop]# ls -alF total 7 drwx------ 6 root root 1024 Jun 23 13:37 ./ drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 1024 Jun 23 11:26 ../ -rw------- 1 root root 123 Jun 23 12:01 .bash_history drwx------ 2 root root 1024 Jun 23 13:30 bin/ drwx------ 3 root root 1024 Jun 23 12:51 etc/ drwx------ 2 root root 1024 Jun 23 13:37 root/ drwx------ 2 root root 1024 Jun 23 12:49 sbin/ [root at loop /home/ntop]# ls -alF * bin: total 370 drwx------ 2 root root 1024 Jun 23 13:30 ./ drwx------ 6 root root 1024 Jun 23 13:37 ../ -rwx------ 1 root root 373176 Jun 23 13:30 bash* etc: total 3 drwx------ 3 root root 1024 Jun 23 12:51 ./ drwx------ 6 root root 1024 Jun 23 13:37 ../ drwx------ 3 root root 1024 Jun 23 12:51 ntop/ root: total 3 drwx------ 2 root root 1024 Jun 23 13:37 ./ drwx------ 6 root root 1024 Jun 23 13:37 ../ -rw------- 1 root root 41 Jun 23 11:30 .ntop sbin: total 253 drwx------ 2 root root 1024 Jun 23 12:49 ./ drwx------ 6 root root 1024 Jun 23 13:37 ../ -rwx------ 1 root root 255928 Jun 23 12:42 ntop* here's what happens when I try chroot'ing, tho: [root at loop /home/ntop]# chroot /home/ntop/ sbin/ntop chroot: cannot execute sbin/ntop: No such file or directory [root at loop /home/ntop]# chroot /home/ntop/ chroot: cannot execute /bin/bash: No such file or directory as one can see from the above listing, those files very well *are* present; and AFAIK, have the right permissions. I can launch those particular files just fine (bin/bash, sbin/ntop), when I don't chroot. what am I missing here? I'm sure it's something obvious...
