[mrtg] Re: Java Graphs

[Travis Dawson]

I too have went as far as decompiling the Java app but still can't figure 
out how that darn mrtg.cgi thing works. Nobody in that Department is 
willing to help. If I get really pissed I might start social engineering 
people there into emailing me the mrtg.cgi file. I have never heard of this 
much trouble in getting a file that the author advertised in a public list.
Will post the files once/if I get them.
