tags 291794 + unreproducible thanks Hello
Today I tryed to reproduce this problem. I run: ntop -u ntop Works just fine. And after entering the password for the admin account it can serve pages from http. When the admin user was set it works just fine to start it using /etc/init.d/ntop. I do not really see what the error is.
