added DRAFT problems Note
Note: DRAFT HOWTO - This procedure has initialisation problems with the configuration file when performing the startup of ntop. Published here for test purposes only and for testers to help resolve the problem.
ie when doing
/etc/init.d/ntop start
the following error is received
FATAL ERROR: Unrecognized/unprocessed ntop options...
, --user ntop, , --db-file-path /var/ntop, ,
, , --use-syslog, , , , , , ,
Note that manually starting ntop works, and it listens on port 3000, but if you connect (even from localhost), it aborts with a RST packet and logs nothing.
This behaviour appears to be documented here:

A strace shows it's just sitting there,
nanosleep({10, 0}, {0, 0}) = 0
