[Bug 138682] Re: ntop permissions are not set right during install

on Karmic, this is sufficient to get ntop to start and log RRD network
data:

sudo apt-get install ntop
sudo install -d /var/lib/ntop
sudo install -o nobody -d /var/lib/ntop/interfaces
sudo install -o nobody -d /var/lib/ntop/rrd
sudo ntop

A little more detail on my blog:

Further questions:
- should the above 'nobody' be user ID 'ntop'?
- to start at boot, is editing "rc.local" best?  http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/opensource/?p=76
