It is from a yum package on Fedora 11. Version 3.3.9. All I did was a
yum install ntop shortly after a fresh install of Fedora.

I have rebooted the system and it free'd up like 20 gig in disk space,
and once I started ntop my disk space starting being used like a half
a meg a second until I stopped ntop again with rrd disabled.

I think I'm going to compile ntop from scratch and see if this clears
things up next week.

Thanks for the help.
