Thanks to a relative newbie to ntop, I've finally got ntop-current
running -w mode in FreeBSD 4.1. The "trick" that made all the
difference was (to quote from Stanley Hopcroft's message)
 
" I used the gdbm FreeBSD gdbm package (gdbm-1.8.0.tgz),
  made a directory /var/log/ntop, and then started ntop with
 
  /usr/local/bin/ntop -d -w 3000 -P /var/log/ntop
 
  (as a daemon, with a web server on port 3000, telling it to
  put all the DB maps in /var/log/ntop/)"

Its anyones guess why the directories I created (/usr/local/var/ntop
& /tmp/ntop) wouldn't work, but thanks to the suggestion from a
fellow Australian its fixed now.
 
I've still got minor "features" like a new complaint about missing
SSL certificate
 
"Unable to find SSL certificate 'ntop-cert.pem',
 
and when I point a browser at the site I noticed that lsof / neped / nmap
are shown as being disabled. I made a point of installing lsof after noticing
complaints about its absence with ntop 1.1, but I don't have any idea right
now what neped & nmap are.
