    OK, well mark me a just a tad confused. Why then, when I used

            'pkg_add -r ntop'

    did the message:

    'Fetching
    ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/Latest/ntop.t
    bz... Done.'

    show on my screen? Forgive my ignorance, but that seems to indicate that
    it's using a package built for 5. Am I wrong?

    However, per your thoughts, I did the 'make deinstall' and 'make install'.
    Not happy. Gives message:

    'ntop-3.1_1 is marked as broken: Does not build with XML dump support.'

    I'm wondering if I should just grab the tarball from sourceforge, and have a
    go at it.

    Kurt
