Hi mel,
First of all thank you for getting back so quickly. This was a
pre-compiled binary installation in ubuntu 8.10 .
The ownership was for root not for ntop, did the changes and now it looks fine.
$ sudo chown -hR ntop /var/lib/ntop
$ ll /var/lib/ntop
total 1480
-rw-r----- 1 ntop root 13292 2009-02-01 12:10 addressQueue.db
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ntop root 159827 2009-02-01 12:18 dnsCache.db
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ntop root 237568 2009-02-01 10:19 fingerprint.db
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ntop root 30 2009-02-01 02:35 init.cfg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 ntop root 30 2009-02-01 02:35 init.cfg.original
drwx------ 5 ntop nogroup 4096 2009-02-01 02:44 interfaces
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ntop root 12288 2009-02-01 02:12 LsWatch.db
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ntop root 1110238 2009-02-01 02:09 macPrefix.db
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ntop root 12546 2009-02-01 10:06 ntop_pw.db
-rwxrwxrwx 1 ntop root 12937 2009-02-01 10:19 prefsCache.db
drwxrwxrwx 5 ntop root 4096 2009-02-01 02:16 rrd
Did the restart and the log looks happy, although have a different
warning this time around :-
