the popular top Unix command does. ntop is based on libpcap and it has been
written in a portable way in order to virtually run on every Unix platform and
on Win32 as well.
ntop users can use a web browser (e.g. netscape) to navigate through ntop (that
acts as a web server) traffic information and get a dump of the network status.
In the latter case, ntop can be seen as a simple RMON-like agent with an
embedded web interface.
The use of:
- a web interface
- limited configuration and administration via the web interface
- reduced CPU and memory usage (they vary according to network size and traffic)
make ntop easy to use and suitable for monitoring various kind of networks.
but have sufficient permissions on /dev/bpf. Shuffle lines around
so that error output in case of insufficient permissions happens before
curses are initialized. Install it mode 555 instead of 550.
Closes pkg/6761.

Also, upgrade to 1.1 on the distribution site, as the old distfile
is no longer there, and 1.1 incorporates all the old patches in the
pkgsrc version bar one minor one (passing CPPFLAGS into Makefile.in
for the build environment).
