Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hi,

If you see in the log there is this message:
user 'NB' does not exist

Could you please specify a valid username when it requests for the users in the kismet group?
An easy solution is to uninstall and install kismet again.

This issue has been fixed in the newest version of kismet.
It is a duplicate of a previously reported bug and I'm marking it as such.
Please comment here if you need additional help

Kindest regards,
Nick
