I installed ntop on a centos5.2 system (which got all yum updates a few days ago)...

  # rpm -q ntop rrdtool
  ntop-3.3.8-1.el5.rf
  rrdtool-1.2.28-1.el5.rf

went through the password configuration

when I start it, its erroring.

# service ntop start
Starting ntop:    Processing file /etc/ntop.conf for parameters...

Hi

There is an error in the ntop startup file.

If you edit:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/ntop

and find the line:

daemon $prog -d -L @/etc/ntop.conf

(This is in the "start ()" section)

Replace with the line:

daemon $prog @/etc/ntop.conf -d -L

i.e. The config file bit needs to be before the parameters.

It should then work when you do "service ntop start".
