to mAineAc,
I installed ntop from source. Fistly it required me a dep. hell called 
as gd-2.0.8. I downloaded and installed it right. after gd installed in 
my box, i installed ntop successfully. however, the /usr/local/var/ntop 
hasn't been created to.
is there a ntop for slack-pkg? I am googling and even in 
www.linuxpackages.net with no success
any idea?
regards
