Note

The ntop kit has the potential to disclose a large degree of information about the local network. It therefore by default can only be reached from the installer node. In order to allow access from outside the cluster, you need to explicitly make it reachable by opening the ntop port 3001 in the firewall by executing:

	    # iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 3001 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
	    # service iptables save

Use this with great care as it could provide an intruder with valuable information.
