Summary:                    Manual page will not format
Description: 
Running the ntop.8 source page through nroff produces no output.  The
problem is that the author apparently does not know about the two-character
limit on [nt]roff macro names and tries to define a macro named It2.  Nroff
silently chokes on this (although groff gives you a useful error message). 
Near the head of the file you will find:

.de It
.TP 1.2
.B \"\\\\$1 \"
..
.de It2
.TP 1.2
.B \"\\\\$1 | \\\\$2\"
..

Doing a global edit on the source file and substituting \"Iz\" for \"It2\"
fixes the problem and the page will format.

Please fix and inform author to revise the source.
