I can confirm this on a fresh install in oneiric, the files in /var/lib/ntop/* has incorrect permissions and owner/group, although the folder permissions seems okay (ntop runs with user 'ntop').
I'm not sure but I think one of ntop dependencies might have made the directory first (and asked me for a web interface password?) and then ntop didn't touch the directory and just printed a warning about the permissions during install. ** Changed in: ntop (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/853144 Title: Wrong permissions in /var/lib/ntop/* To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntop/+bug/853144/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
