I would like to monitor the traffic on the ethernet card, more or less totals in and out. ( /usr/port/net/ntop -- has security problems? ) When I use the configmaker I don't get any errors, but when I check my mrtg generated files I see a huge input, 250kb. MRTG says its monitoring rl0, which is my ethernet device. But using netstat -w 100 I only see an input of around 25kbs. What could be causing the confusion with the input errors? Do I have snmpd setup incorrectly? Has anyone seen any problems like this? -----mrtg config---- cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /home/httpd/mrtg' \ --global 'Options[_]: bits,growright' \ --output /home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg \ public@IPADDRESSOF MACHINE Adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
