Sorry I'm tardy in replying about this bug; "time flies".
The description in the README.Debian isn't yet satisfactory.
Some time I'd like to figure out how to get 'ntop' working
then try to rewrite it.
In the meantime, the new text has several typos, for example:
15 Note that you can not run ntop as a user as it need full access to the
16 devices and only root have such access.
s/can not/cannot/
s/need/needs/
s/have such/has such/
A patch is attached. More later, HTH...
