[Ntop] general newbie questions..

Hello all,

I've been playing w/ ntop for a few days now and find somethings 
confusing and frustrating; so I'm looking for clarification.

I'm using it on FreeBSD (tried 5.3 and 4.11) from ports, as well as the 
cvs version.

I like the cvs version much better.. but I cannot seem to figure out why 
the rrdplugin isn't loaded or working..

My newbie problem is, I cannot figure out *how* I am supposed to change 
the config.

Should I edit the ntop.sh, should I got to the admin -> configure -> 
startup.

In the stable version it seems that the configure -> startup was is at 
the very least inconsistent as to what arguments it will keep, load and 
work with.

I find the cvs version more consistent when it comes to changing 
settings, but again still confusing.

About -> show config shows things set that I didn't set in either the 
ntop.sh, or where ever the configure -> startup settings go.

So a general 'clue' or guidelines for how I should make setting changes 
would be appreciated, and an idea as to how to figure out the rrdplugin 
on cvs would also be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

- Brian

(for what it's worth I'm trying to get info from a Cisco3620 and have it 
setup using version 9)
