pk stuff

Not sure how but my Fawn automatically starts ntop on reboot. Either this is the default when you install the package or I’ve simply forgotten about creating links in /etc/rc3.d.

However, while everything looks nice, the network load info was missing. Also, restarting ntop (or rebooting) would lose all stats.

A quick look around turned up ‘rrd’ or Round Robin Database which is installed with rrdtool and then activating the plugin of the same name in ntop. But this lead to an error indicating that it couldn’t create/access files in /var/lib/ntop/rrd. Since ntop is launched at boot under control of user ‘ntop’, the solution was to simply give ownership of /var/lib/ntop/rrd to ntop.
