I deleted all the rrds, and they did start rebuilding as you said. I still let it run \
                via “/etc/init.d/ntop restart” as user ntop.
         /usr/sbin/ntop -d -L -u ntop -P /var/lib/ntop --access-log-file \
/var/log/ntop/access.log -i eth0 -p /etc/ntop/protocol.list -O /var/log/ntop

There don’t seem to be any new errors. ☺
The rrd-statistics page seems to report that things are collecting, and no errors:
      RRD Statistics
Item                    Count
–––––––––––––––––   ––––––––
Cycles                   13

But now I’m a bit confused about where I would see the rrd graphs – Something like \
at:  http://nst.sourceforge.net/nst/docs/user/ch03s11.html 

Thanks for all the help; not sure what was wrong, perhaps all is well now?!
Fingers crossed.

I'm quite sure that there is nothing wrong with you're ntop version, the file's \
permissions that you listed led me to think that the problem lies there. Have you \
tried to remove all the rrds? Move them somewhere else and start ntop again the way \
you're used to. 


The way you've tried ntop starts as user ntop, doing so it will not allow ntop \
instance to read all the RRDS files as I would want you to. If ntop runs as root user \
without problem then all you have to do is reset all the files in your ntop user \
directory to assign read and write permission to the user ntop (ALL of them).

Allright, I'm not confident with debian repository version of ntop but try this:

open up a console
su root
insert password
ntop -P /usr/local/share/ntop/ -u root

This way you're not starting ntop as a deamon try it and tell me what happened.

As Luca told you there is a lot of improvements in the latest version, you can still \
check it out, download it, compile it, and run it from the compile folder to try it!
