It's not clear by reading /etc/init.d/ntop. This is how /etc/default/nfs-kernel-server for example does it: # Number of servers to start up RPCNFSDCOUNT=8 # Runtime priority of server (see nice(1)) RPCNFSDPRIORITY=0 # Options for rpc.mountd. # If you have a port-based firewall, you might want to set up # a fixed port here using the --port option. For more information, # see rpc.mountd(8) or http://wiki.debian.org/?SecuringNFS RPCMOUNTDOPTS= # Do you want to start the svcgssd daemon? It is only required for Kerberos # exports. Valid alternatives are "yes" and "no"; the default is "no". NEED_SVCGSSD= # Options for rpc.svcgssd.
