I'm hoping this is a quick answer, but here's my all-familiar dilemma (I'm a noob):
Scenario: Only need NetFlow, no promiscuous needs. On a kerberized Ubuntu 10.04.4 server, with local *ntop* and *nobody*accounts, both assigned to nogroup (I believe), I'm wanting to start ntop in rc.local with *ntop -P /usr/local/var/ntop -i none -s -u ntop -d*. I get "mkdir error 13 Permission denied" in syslog for dumps to RRD. I've tried many different chmods and chowns, and can't figure out who's attempting to do what. For example, I don't know the interraction for the user *ntop *and user *nobody*. If I knew who was trying to create the folders in RRD for interfaces, flows, etc. and who's trying to read them. It seems like they're different users only known to nTop, and not seen in trace or syslog. Caveat: I need to be able to start the server automatically without running nTop as an /etc/init.d/ntop service. Thanks in advance! Brian
