# Add ntop user and directory permissions.
useradd -M -s /sbin/nologin -r ntop
chown -R ntop:root /usr/local/var/ntop/
chown -R ntop:ntop /usr/local/share/ntop/
# Set ntop password
ntop -A
# To start ntop on boot
nano /etc/rc.local # and add: /usr/local/bin/ntop -i “eth0,eth1” -d -L -u ntop -P /usr/local/
you have multiple interface (eth0, eth1 and so on), start ntop as follows:
# To start ntop
/usr/bin/ntop -i “eth0” -d -L -u ntop -P /var/ntop –skip-version-check –use-syslog=daemon
htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/.htpasswd segredes
Where,
* -i “eth0,eth1” : Specifies the network interface or interfaces to be used by ntop for network monitoring. Here you are monitoring eth0 and eth1.
* -d : Run ntop as a daemon.
* -L : Send all log messages to the system log (/var/log/messages) instead of screen.
* -u ntop : Start ntop as ntop user
* -P /usr/local/var/ntop : Specify where ntop stores database files. You may need to backup database as part of your disaster recovery program.
* –skip-version-check : By default, ntop accesses a remote file to periodically check if the most current version is running. This option disables that check.
* –use-syslog=daemon : Use syslog daemon.
By default ntop listen on 3000 port. You can view ntop stats by visiting following url:
http://localhost:3000/
Hello. how are you? I would like to know where I have to do the configuration ntop 4.0.1 and RDDtool like GeoIP happens in /usr/local/etc/GeoIP.conf.

I have many diificultss and I have to present my project for December. thank you in advance!!!
how can do this:
mkdir /tmp/rrdbuild
export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/rrdbuild
mkdir /opt/rrdtool-1.4.7

./configure –prefix=$INSTALL_DIR ; make ; make install
