=net-analyzer/ntop-3.3.8 does not set ownership or permissions of /var/lib/ntop. I think the best solution would be to move fowners and fperms to src_install since that is probably where it should be. Doing this owns the directory properly and prevents crashes when ntop attempts to restart after being start the first time.

Created attachment 178405 [details] ntop-3.3.8-r1.ebuild Corrected ebuild that sets the permissions properly so ntop doesn't crash when restart.
Fixed in version 3.3.9.
I understand that a newer version works. Would it be better just to remove this version from the tree since it does not install correctly?
(In reply to comment #2) > Fixed in version 3.3.9. > Also for that matter, 3.3.9 is not even in the tree.
Have patience, will ya? It will appear on all rsync mirrors in a couple of hours. Since the described problem isn't exactly a show stopper (after all, make install advise users at the end to run chown -R ntop:ntop /var/lib/ntop), removing the version 3.3.8 isn't really needed (3.3.8 has the exact keywords as 3.3.9). WARNING: the new version still crashes with malloc memory corruption trace. Reclosed as FIXED.
