Hi there Mr. Lucas,

I've followed your instruction on the Onlamp, and it just works! Right
now flowdumper can read my flow files.

And there goes another question (or I think this question will be
answered on your next articles on Onlamp ;)). This is my flowscan.cf
config :

packetscanner # more bin/flowscan.cf

# flowscan Configuration Directives ############################################

# FlowFileGlob (REQUIRED)
# use this glob (file pattern match) when looking for raw flow files to be
# processed, e.g.:
# FlowFileGlob /var/local/flows/flows.*:*[0-9]
FlowFileGlob /usr/netflow-data/ft-v05.*:*[0-9]

# ReportClasses (REQUIRED)
# a comma-seperated list of FlowScan report classes, e.g.:
# ReportClasses CampusIO
ReportClasses CUFlow

# WaitSeconds (OPTIONAL)
# This should be <= the "-s" value passed on the command-line to cflowd, e.g.:
# WaitSeconds 300
WaitSeconds 30

# Verbose (OPTIONAL, non-zero = true)
Verbose 1

And after I run flowscan in my flow files firectory, unfortunately
flowscan still cannot process my flow files, it just run sleep 30
without end.

Any suggestions ?
Many thanks!
