Quick reply re the ultimate error. Julian, read the back traffic and docs/FAQ on this, it's quite common.
Basically, the directory has to exist and be writable by the -u userid. What directory ntop uses is set by the -P parameter (and possibly another - man ntop). The default - if it's unspecified - is derived from the ./configure --prefix setting.
talking about this error ?
because the directory exists, the real problem was, i you do not use '-u user', ntop decrease privs to '(null)' (null being nobody) so ... here a problem i think:08/Nov/2003 10:57:22 [initialize:862] Opening database '/opt/var/ntop/prefsCache.db' 08/Nov/2003 10:57:22 [initialize:868] **FATAL_ERROR** ....open of /opt/var/ntop/prefsCache.db failed: File open error 08/Nov/2003 10:57:22 [initialize:880] Is another instance of ntop running?
Program exited with code 0377. (gdb)
if configure has detect a ntop user, use it, else without -u, use root.
else the main point of the post is having ntop running on openbsd (has yet to see stability and speed but it runs :)

Julien
