Try running w/ --trace-level 5 (-t 5) that should give more messages and
might show which one gdbm can't read.

Subject: [Ntop] Trouble starting ntop v3.2 on Mac OS X 10.4

Greetings,

On a recent install of ntop 3.2 via Darwinports/Macports, I'm having trouble
starting ntop.

I did an install last week, and manually started it fine, following the
instructions here:

http://homepage.mac.com/duling/halfdozen/ntop-Howto.html

When I tried to get ntop to start automatically, it would fail.   
Today I removed that installation, and installed from Darwinports again.
I get to the Fingerprint: Loading signature file, then I receive a fatal
gdbm read error.  I'm guessing this is a permissions or ownership issue, but
I can't see to figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

John
