-1) Download extra databases
----------------------------
-
-After building & installing the ntop package, you might want to
-follow these extra steps:
-
-1.1) GeoIP tables
-
-To identify the location of the external hosts your netwerk connects
-to, ntop uses GeoIP. You will need to download the latest tables to
-your ntop server and store them in /etc/ntop:
-
-  # cd /etc/ntop
-  # wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
-  # gunzip -c GeoLiteCity.dat.gz > GeoLiteCity.dat
-  # wget http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/asnum/GeoIPASNum.dat.gz
-  # gunzip -c GeoIPASNum.dat.gz > GeoIPASNum.dat
-
-Both files are updated regularly (about once a month). There are some
-suggestions below on how to keep your ntop server up-to-date.
-
-1.2) OS fingerprint database
-
-ntop tries to identify the Operating System from the captures packages by
-searching for a "fingerprint". It uses a table that needs to be downloaded
-from the ettercap project on SourceForge:
-
-  # cd /etc/ntop
-  # wget -O etter.finger.os http://ettercap.cvs.sourceforge.net/ettercap/ettercap_ng/share/etter.finger.os?rev=HEAD
-
-This file hasn't been updated since 2005, so it doesn't identify the more
-modern OSs (Slackware 13.0 is identified as "Debian Linux" :-/ ) but it still
-might be helpful.
-
-1.3) OUI database
-
-All MAC addresses contain a "Organizationally Unique Identifier" (OUI) to
-identify the manufacturer. These OUIs are assigned by the IEEE Standards
-Association. A table is included with ntop, but new OUIs are assigned almost
-every day, so you might want to update the file now, before starting ntop:
-
-  # cd /etc/ntop
-  # wget http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt
-  # gzip -c oui.txt > oui.txt.gz
-
-Since this file changes frequently, check the suggestions later in this file
-on how to keep your ntop server up-to-date.
