Love NTOP, since I started using it a couple of weeks ago.  I installed 
it from the ntop-2.0.tgz FBSD-specific pkg.  Worked almost exactly as 
expected and was installed and operational in less than five mins.  Okay, 
I see what mite be bugs in the system, so I d/l the latest tarball (2.1.2) and 
did the following:

1)  ./configure ; gmake ; gmake install
2)  edit ntop.sh 
2a) add args = -S1 -P /var/db/ntop ; interface = wi0
3)  chown nobody /var/db/ntop

That's it.  Only now NTOP is really acting buggy.  I put the startup script 
in the bild directory and run it w/ max debug msgs (-t5) and don't see any 
errors.  That is, except for a never-ending stream of 'Host not found' 
messages sent to the console.  Also, the Stats:Network Load link doesn't 
display graphs any more !  A single link is presented w/ the date/time, 
which displays the table w/ the top three sending/receiving hosts on 
a minute-by-minute basis.

    Another observation:  prior to adding the -S1 option, NTOP used 
the directory spec'd by the -P option.  However, upon adding the -S1 
option, it immed prompted for the pswd again and placed the *.db 
files in /usr/local/var/ntop !  That's not mentioned in the man 
page, so I presume that's is a bug ?

    If I re-install the 2.0 pkg, NTOP is operational again.  So my 
question is:  what did I do wrong w/ 2.1.2 ?
