man ntop
--pcap_setnonblock
On some platforms, the select() call ntop uses to wait for web
server
requests will hang. This option sets the non-blocking option
(assuming
ita?Ts available in the version of libpcap that is installed).
While
this fixes the problem, it also signifcantly increases the cpu
usage
of ntop (by turing an interupt driven process into a poll). If the
web
server hangs, but the rest of ntop seems to keep runing just fine,
try
this option. It's know to be an issue under FreeBSD 4.9.
Or, read the back traffic on this list and search for that problem - it's
been discussed, analyzed to death and resolved. The EXTENSIVE thread can be
found by this search:

gmane.linux.ntop.devel
Enjoy!
