I’ve installed ntop from the repo but am having problems getting it to run as a service. I can launch it from a shell window by typing ntop and it then successfully runs as a daemon, but I can’t get it to do this automatically. The ntop user and group both exist in YaST and ntop is configured to run as a service. A message I’m seeing in /var/log/messages is
ntop[8576]: ntop admin password is not yet set. Run
ntop[8576]: ntop -A -u ntop
ntop[8576]: manually ..unused
But even after running ntop -A -u ntop it still won’t work.
