Putting things in git is a good way of stopping non-programmers like
me from having a look at them, but I'll follow up Christian's version
(oh, and I can do "patch -R", okay, new diff attached.)

Could we reshuffle the order slightly:
Please choose the login that should be used to execute the ntop
process. The use of the root account is not allowed.
.
The account will be created if it does not already exist, but
if you leave it blank, no login will be created and ntop will
not run until manually configured.

I'd say "for ntop to listen on" or (probably) "that ntop should listen
on".

Please choose a password to be used for ntop's administrative web
interface.

The "or keep it" just makes it slightly less obvious that a "yes" here
means "yes, change it".
A password for ntop's administrative web interface has already been set.
.
Please choose whether you want to change that password.
