1. couldn't specify --with-rrd-root

FIXED: (I just KNOW you were waiting for me to get poed enough to fix it)

2. Directories and rights.

When you startup rrd, it looks for a rrd directory under /usr/share/ntop
(dbPath).  If that doesn't exist, you get strange and horrible results.
What's more, it has to be writable by the -u userid.

Attached PATCH puts the create for directories (as well as error traps) into
the init function.

The only problem is that I can't see how to force the status box on Admin |
Plugins back to NO...

I've got an FAQ entry about the rights issue.


3. graphics are being created under /usr/share/ntop (dbPath).  Two issues --
one is that they're in the root of that directory (how about a subdir named
"graphics") and two is that the -u userid then needs read/write to it.  So
how about making it under rrd/graphics?

Attached PATCH fixes these


4. The message from rrd_* tools aren't getting reflected back to the user.
This would have made it easier to diagnose #2 and #3


5. There are URLs which are IP.xxxx.rrd -- how about changing IP. to IP_??

Attached PATCH fixes these
