Re: [Discussion] Web100 Java applet returns "Server Fault" message

[Rich Carlson <rcarlson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Doug;

Since Matt sent something over this list, I'll reply here too.  As was 
suggested, you can contact me directly if you have more questions.

The "Server Fault" message is slightly misleading, and I have corrected 
this to be more informative in the current release I'm working on under the 
Internet2 piPEs project.  This message is usually generated for 1 of 2 reasons.

1) the web100srv process is not running as root.  The web100srv process 
fork()'s a couple of child processes to perform some raw packet 
timings.  This means root privileges are required to get raw access to the 
network.

2) if the server has multiple interfaces, then you need to tell the 
web100srv process which interface to snoop on.  By default it uses the 1st 
interface (eth0 on most systems).  Use the '-i device' command line option 
to specify a different interface.  You can use the 'netstat -ni' or 
'/sbin/ifconfig -a' command to find out what the proper device name is.
