[mrtg] Re: is it Y2K compliant

[John Losey]

We had mrtg (2.8.9) running during a Y2K test of one of our DEC UNIX
servers.  Everything appeared to run fine.  It collected and graphed its
measurements w/o difficulty.

However, from my understanding on how mrtg works, as long as your OS and
your version of PERL are Y2K compliant, mrtg should be fine.  I'm not sure
of the PC world, but the UNIX mrtg tracks the date by counting seconds since
the creation of UNIX, so it won't run into a problem until the epoch (when
you run out of bytes for the number of seconds).  And since it required
libraries in the version of PERL only 1 rev from current, it should be fine
as well.

DISCLAIMER:  MRTG wasn't part of the things we were testing during our Y2K
test, I only observed that it APPEARED to work properly.  This should not be
construed as any statement of compliance.  We aren't responsible for any
problems that may be caused by software we didn't write.
