Have now tried that - it doesn't look like that's the problem.
In /etc/rc.conf, I have the following config for ntop:
ntop_enable="YES"
ntop_flags="-d -u ntop -P /home/ntop/databases -K -L -t 6 -o -i
em0 -m
192.168.8.0/24,192.168.10.0/24,192.168.11.0/24,192.168.12.0/24,192.168.13.0/24,192.168.15.0/24,192.168.24.0/24
-w 192.168.10.68:3000 -W 0 -D mycompany.com"
After executing 'sh -x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ntop start' I see the
following lines, amongst all the other stuff:
