>Organization:
Juniper Networks
>Environment:
System: FreeBSD dwolf-bsd.jnpr.net 6.3-STABLE FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE #2: Mon Aug 25 15:27:04 PDT 2008 root@dwolf-bsd.jnpr.net:/common/S2/obj/usr/src/sys/DWOLF i386


>Description:
	The version of rrdcgi from databases/rrdtool-1.3.1 is a bit
	broken, in that "%s" (which has historically been, and is
	still documented to "[stand] for the filename part of the
	graph generated, all directories given in the PNG file
	argument will get dropped.") now is replaced by a full
	pathname -- from the system's root, which is rarely the
	same as the DocumentRoot for the Web server, with the result
	that absent ugly symlink hacks, the RRDtool graphs are
	generated, but the Web server won't find them.

	Please note that RRDtool's author has fixed this (r1459)
	as of 12 Aug 2008.  It would be Real Nice to get the fix in
	before the ports are completely frozen for 6.4=R and 7.1-R.
