I don't know about this one; maybe in the new version the .ntop file is
mandatory. In this file you should specify the passwords for the web
interface. If I recall correctly, it has to be in this format:
username <tab> password
username2 <tab> password2
etc.

You might want to check out the ntop homepage: http://www.ntop.org/

lsof is a utility to list open files/sockets. It isn't in the base
system; you can get it from the ports collection if you have that (cd
/usr/ports/sysutils/lsof; make install) or do it with sysinstall..
