I'm trying to figure out why the ntop.sh startup script that is
installed from ports fails to start ntop successfully at boot up but
works fine when I call it after boot up from root login. I've included
the complete console output. The actual "FATAL ERROR" is "Not root,
ntop shutting down...". OK, why isn't ntop root? I thought startup
scripts were called as "root"? Suggestions?
Thanks,
Drew
