Beware ntop .....

I just downloaded it & ran it and noticed that it made a connection
to the author's site: //jake.unipi.it/, this is somewhat worrying
since it asked me to enter an administrator's password - which has
now been changed.

It is possible that he is just seeing who is running it, but I
don't like this sort of thing.
