[mrtg] Re: log file question

[Stieers, Ken]

Don't touch BER, SNMP_Session or SNMP_Util.  They are SNMP utilities and
have NOTHING to do with how the log files are managed.  BER is the code for
the ASN-1 encoding that SNMP uses,  SNMP_Session is the code to do SNMP
communications, and SNMP_Util is the wrapper that abstracts the first two so
that you can get work done.   

MRTG doesn't actually touch the log files either.  It calls RATEUP to do the
logfile work as compiled C tends to be quicker than interpreted Perl (no
flames from the Perl fanatics, please).  If you want to muck with the
logfiles, RATEUP is where you'd do it.
