Hello Burton, I've never created ntop user before so I've tested version 2.1.2-1 but there is no ntop user added in my /etc/passwd file.
In fact I've got problem to launch ntop-2.1.2.0 : it starts but stops immediately with ntop lock (/var/lock/subsys/ntop file). I've tried to rebuild with the old ntop.init file and I get the same result. Is there a lack in my configuration with the new ntop-2.1 rpm package ? If you have any idea about it, let me know.
