The first thing I noticed was that after starting the ntop daemon, IDEA (JetBrains / IntelliJ Java IDE) hung when starting up for the first time ever and I had to kill it. I suspected it might have tried to connect to port 3000 for some reason (it's a very large and complicated program with many plug-ins that uses network connections of many sorts), so I stopped the ntop daemon and restarted IDEA. It did not hang that time, though this doesn't prove anything about an possible interaction between ntop and IDEA.
Despite the fact that killing IDEA to get out of this hang necessitates a very length regeneration of its index files, I decided to try this once again (after running a few times without incident with the ntop daemon not running) and again IDEA hung during start-up. So clearly there's some interference here. I don't yet know what IDEA is trying to connect to on the local host's port 3000, but it's clearly optional, since the absence of anything using that port never causes a problem. Having glanced at ntop's configuration file, I notice that its default use of port 3000 can be reconfigured there, should all else fail. My next problem? Firefox keeps crashing when I try to start a new thread on the IDEA forums (Clearspace 2.5.4 from Jive software). That's about the only way for me to find out what might be happening with this port 3000 interaction...
