Normally the ntop daemon runs as the user id "ntop". Depends on the ntop (tar, 
rpm, etc.) installation process it is possible the /var/ntop directory wasn't 
created with the same user id. When I have such problem I have changed the 
owner of the /var/ntop to ntop user (chown -R ntop:ntop /var/ntop) and I had 
the problem solved.

  Looks like it works now.  I'm just waiting for the pages to update.  Thanks,

    I would try chmoding the RRD database directory to 777 to see if this is 
the case. Can't remember the default path for rrd's right now, and don't have 
an NTOP box handy.

    I just got NTop running, and I took a look at the log.  Keep in mind, I am 
new to this utility, but so far it looks great.  I am implementing it with the 
Cacti plugin.  The log says:

    Which is very bizarre.  I don't think it is a permissions problem, although 
it would not surprise me.  Any suggestions?
