[NFDB-users] Notices about InstallNotes.

[Filip Palian]

Hi guys,

In the install notes (http://trac.netflowdashboard.com/netflowdashboard/wiki/InstallNotes) I've found two errors:

1) Setting up the Database

In the listing there is:

	$ pgctl -D /var/postgresql/data -l logfile start

and IMHO it should be:

	$ pg_ctl -D /var/postgresql/data -l logfile start


2) NetFlow Agent

In the listing there is:

	$ sudo ifconfig pflow0 flowsrc 10.10.10.1 flowdst 10.10.10.10:12345
	$ ifconfig pflow0
	pflow0: flags=<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1464
	        pflow: sender: 10.10.10.1 receiver: 10.10.10.10:12345
	        groups: pflow

and IMHO it should be:

	$ sudo ifconfig pflow0 flowsrc 10.10.10.1 flowdst 10.10.10.10:12345 up
	$ ifconfig pflow0
	pflow0: flags=<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1464
	        pflow: sender: 10.10.10.1 receiver: 10.10.10.10:12345
	        groups: pflow

otherwise if pflow device wasn't there before, execution of the commands in the current form of the install notes will result with:

	$ sudo ifconfig pflow0 flowsrc 10.10.10.1 flowdst 10.10.10.10:12345
	$ ifconfig pflow0
	pflow0: flags=<> mtu 1464
	        pflow: sender: 10.10.10.1 receiver: 10.10.10.10:12345
	        groups: pflow

In this case nothing will be send and recived via this device. It may save a lot of time to someone;-)


Best regards,
