Thank You.

I will look in there.  I am curious, where does the +128 come from.

I was receiving an error message, but I understood it was a print issue within 
the GUI and not an actual character limitation  "**ERROR** Buffer too short @ 
httpd.c:1431"

It looks as though I may be wrong. I also am not a programmer, so any help 
would be greatly appreciated. It looks like the globals-defines.h defines the 
LEN_GENERAL_WORK_BUFFER, would this be where I make the change? The 1024 of the 
General Work Buffer seems to fit.

#define LEN_TIMEFORMAT_BUFFER               48
#define LEN_CMDLINE_BUFFER                  4096
#define LEN_FGETS_BUFFER                    512
#define LEN_HUGE_WORK_BUFFER                4096
define LEN_GENERAL_WORK_BUFFER             4096
#define LEN_GENERAL_WORK_BUFFER             1024
#define LEN_MEDIUM_WORK_BUFFER              128
#define LEN_SMALL_WORK_BUFFER               24 /* nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn\n */
#define LEN_ADDRESS_BUFFER                  
sizeof("FEDC:BA98:7654:3210:FEDC:BA98:7654:3210")+4

My current BPF filter is 1,151 characters with no spaces and 1037 characters

Sounds like the limit is 1024 + 128 = 1152. Do you get any errors in the log 
when your BPF is too large?

I'm no C or Ntop codebase expert, but I think the bit of the code that is of 
interest is in util.c around line 1532.
