#42914: ntop @5.0.1_2 doesn't create ntop user, causes launchd task to always fail
------------------------+--------------------------------
 Reporter:  macports@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect      |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal      |  Milestone:
Component:  ports       |    Version:  2.2.1
 Keywords:              |       Port:  ntop
------------------------+--------------------------------
 A standard install of ntop doesn't create the system ntop user.  The
 result is that the standard launchd plist doesn't launch, with the
 following error in the logs:

 {{{
 2014-03-18 14:40:35.698 com.apple.launchd[1]: (org.macports.ntop)
 Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
 2014-03-18 14:40:45.734 ntop[51296]:   THREADMGMT[t140735158080272]: ntop
 RUNSTATE: PREINIT(1)
 2014-03-18 14:40:45.734 ntop[51296]:   THREADMGMT[t140735158080272]: ntop
 RUNSTATE: INIT(2)
 }}}

 Attempting to run the command defined in the plist file the following
 happens:

 {{{
 $ sudo /opt/local/bin/daemondo --label=ntop --start-cmd
 /opt/local/bin/ntop @/opt/local/etc/ntop/ntop.conf --pid=exec
 Processing file /opt/local/etc/ntop/ntop.conf for parameters...
 FATAL ERROR: Unknown user ntop.
 }}}

 The expected behavior is for the ntop system user to be created during
 installation.
