Hello,

Can anyone help me, I been happily running Knetdump for the last couple of days, to monitor the NT network I'm connected to.

When I attempted to run it today I received a wonderful 'segmentation fault' message.

Anyone have an idea how to resolve this ?

Would a reinstallation do any good ??

Thanks for any help in advance http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

A segmentation fault won't be fixed by a reinstall. The problem is in the code of the program. What you can do is to see if your can replicate it happening again, and causing it to dump core. Before running it, type:

ulimit -c 1000

If it crashes again, it will say "core dumped". You can examine this core dump using "gdb" with "gdb -c core". Or send an email to the developer telling them what happened and how.
