Hello to everyone,

I'm pretty new to ntop so any help would be very nice. Links to google
are also acceptable :)

I've downloaded ntop 4.0 stable sources and have made a simple
installation package for Debian Lenny with checkinstall. Everything
has been done OK and the package has been installed with dpkg.

But then I've faced a strange behaviour. For the first time I've run
ntop --set-admin-password=admin
After that ntop could be easily started, stopped, started again and so on.

But after reboot of a PC ntop asks for admin password once again. The
file ntop_pw.db is located on the specified location (in a directory
specified with -P parameter). But re-entering of the key is essential.

Any ideas what could be wrong with my installation? I've googled and
haven't found any information about that strange behaviour. If you
wish to have some additional information - just let me know.

PS
