I'm putting together a new ntop installation (well, sorta new - it's
FreeBSD 7.1Release, with ntop 3.3_4 out of the base ports tree) and
can't start the darn thing. I keep getting the following error:

     Apr 13 17:57:11 znetmon ntop[654]:   [admin.c:967]
**FATAL_ERROR** No password for admin user - please re-run ntop in
non-daemon mode first

But, I've done that, several times:

     /usr/local/bin/ntop -u ntop -A

Whereupon it prompts for the password, and I type it in, and it looks
happy, but then

     '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntop start'

yields the same message in /var/log/messages, every time.

I've perused the FAQ and man pages multiple times, and I have another
ntop running just fine, for many moons now.

Any hints?

I am updating the ports tree right now, and will get a more current
version of ntop installed soonest, but this is a bit weird.


Thanks,

Kurt
