the chown command changes user and group ownership on a file or directory. 
"chown ntp:ntp <file>" would cause the <file> to be have both user and group 
changed to "ntp"

The error may indicate that you do not have either a user  or a group called 
"ntp" on the system. You should check the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
e.g. "grep ntp /etc/passwd" 
or simply "cat /etc/passwd"

I've installed Nessus on a Gentoo box and it's apparently working 
correctly.  On bootup this message is displayed:

chown 'ntp:ntp' invalid category

What does that mean?  Do I need to change something in the config 
file?
Thanks.
