Ah, yes. I've been meaning to install ClarkConnect to solve this very 
issue;-) Thanx for the reminder.


Here's a fairly old one:
[root at magpie root]# ls -l /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          754 Feb 23  2002 /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg
[root at magpie root]# cat /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg

Used to work, it's ages since I looked at  the reports.
