Hi Blake,

> hello! I wanted to know how ntop uses nmap and lsof?

As far as I know, ntop uses lsof for the "IP Traffic - Local usage" page
and nmap for determining the OS of a computer.

Read the manual more carefully:
option "-N": ntop doesn't use nmap
option "-E": make ntop aware of nmap and lsof

> how?  what is ntop lacking if nmap is not installed?

see above.

CU,

Michael
