Hi !

I did not use any earlier version of ntop than the 2.0. I just read the docs
& faq & guide about the 1.1...

But it seems that you can act on the way users can shut down ntop throug the
web interface. Go to the Admin page, click on URLs.
Then, click either on the Delete User icon or on Modify (the little pen
icon). If you click on the little pen, you'll be able to modify the URL
associate with the shutdown action. You can change user able to shut down
ntop (admin user by default), i.e.: create a special user just for the
shutdown action and then allowing just this user to do this. I anyway have
to see if ntop admin user has all rights (like *nix super-user root).
A more simple way to disable shutdown through web interface is to delete the
shut user : go the Admin page, click on URLs and then on the Delete User
icon (why User ? I don't know... should be Delete URL !).

What annoyes me is that the default username and password are written in the
authentication popup... ;-)
