[Bug 355127] [NEW] ntop admin user not created during install

[Andreas Olsson]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ntop

For ntop to run it needs to have its admin user configured. This is not something which is prompted for during the install.
(Compare to the installation of mysql-server for example.)

Hence when /etc/init.d/ntop is automaticaly started, it fails, rather
silently. Looking at syslog the following error message is found:

Apr  4 21:14:49 pc11067 ntop[4296]:   **FATAL_ERROR** No password for
admin user - please re-run ntop in non-daemon mode first

The simple workaround if of course to just run "sudo ntop" once. Then
the ntop service works as expected. Yet, it would be nice to have some
debconf magic during the installation.

** Affects: ntop (Ubuntu)
