Since I installed a new NIC I've had nothing but problems.  I got the NTop
web interface up, finally.  I had to add the "-w 192.168.x.x:3000" in the
command.  This is the command I am running:

ntop -i eth1 -u ntop -w 192.168.x.x:3000

It comes back with a pretty decent output.  When I look at the log, I get
this:

Fri Dec  1 09:22:45 2006  RRD: Welcome to the RRD plugin

Fri Dec  1 09:23:09 2006  LASTSEEN: Thanks for using LsWatch
Fri Dec  1 09:23:09 2006  LASTSEEN: Done


Both LsWatch and RRD are not working anymore.  It is obvious that its a
permissions issue.  I am running this as root, and I changed "ntop" in the
command to "root" and "wwwrun" and still no luck!  Suggestions would be
appreciated.

 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, Nick!
