[Ntop-dev] Basic usage rules

[Zav - Public]

Luca, I have tried the -P argument as well, yet as a brand new user, I  
have no idea what to supply for the directory.

In the config file it is listed as:

--db-file-path /opt/local/var/ntop

Do I need to remove the leading minus signs?

Grazie,
- Alex
