So even if the source port is known, it's categorized as other ?  i.e.
return flow of ssh session , while initiating flow of ssh is recorded as
ssh ?

Any answer to adding gre and esp ?

Tks

First, you do realize source ports are random and will
be an "other"? ... you will always have other
(destination is the only thing you will be able to add
to you protocol list).  If you feel there are some
additional destination ports you are missing then use
a sniffer to collect that information.  You should be
able to leave a sniffer on the network for a day .. or
week (whatever) to track common destination ports. 
That may reduce your other but you will always have
other.  You could run Ethereal on the same server
running your NTOP if you are spanning a port.
