I guess not. Redhat typically don't usually use /opt . Unfortunetly I
can't find the record for this package in rpmfind.net (which would have
shown the list of files).

'rpm -ql ntop ' will do , of course.

As I mentioned before: there is one at rhcontrib.bero.org. It did  not
rebuild well on my system, but maybe rebuilding it on another system with
the ntop 2.0 instead of ntop 2.0-beta1 tarball (see the RPM-HOWTO for
basic procedures of modifying RPMs) would give you a good package.

It seems that this package contains soe extra config files, like an init.d
script, and log rotation scripts.

(for building the -devel rpm packages are typically required, e.g:
libpcap-devel , gdbm-devel)
