Question for anyone who runs nTop on Ubuntu 10.04 as non-root

I'm using Debian but I'll have a go.

I'm getting Permission Denied (error 13) in my syslog from where the ntop user cannot create directories or files in the RRD directory.


Can you do anything in there as the ntop user?

If I run it as root, the files created are by the user ntop:ntop, which is a sudoer (temp), and all the permissions are set to chmod 777 to test with. When I start as user, ntop again, it cannot write to the RRD directory, even though there's no permissions or selinux issues (not using selinux)



How are you starting it? What are the permissions on the directory?

On my system, it's using /usr/local/var/ntop, and the ownership on there is ntop:ntop.

I start ntop with 'ntop -u ntop'.
