My ntop also had the problem that it was crashing/not starting, so I went to
the ntop site [http://www.uk.ntop.org/ntop.html] and theres a new release
candidate out today! So I'm now running ntop-3.2rc2_fc4-1.i386.rpm from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17233&package_id=13248&release_id=147104
[watch for the wrap] and its installed okay with no problems and is running
okay [so far at least].

It does give warnings about reading certain files and the ntop.conf being
renamed, just something to bear in mind :).
