That's the honest truth and I can prove it...

Mind you I have deep concerns on the reaction of ntop if you're kernel is
packet filtering....
Which is what my kernel is doing...

I placed ntop on my production machine several months back which was also
packet filetering and the results were a lot more serious.... Typically when
the machine went live and the network packets started flowing - the machine
rebooted ! SHEESH I rebuilt the kernel stripping everything out except
iptables of course and again the same problem : REBOOT.

Finally I removed ntop and we had stability.
