Though I've not had the problems you've described, I have been using 
Ntop on a Ubuntu Server 6.10 (2.6.17-10-server) for a few weeks now and 
have had to restart it once because it died for some unknown reason. I 
also could NEVER get it to compile from source but I was able to use 
apt-get to install it. My *nix knowledge is just better than beginner so 
I may just not know what I'm doing.
