[mrtg] Re: Unix command line e-mail with attachments

[Matt Walkowiak]

I do use htaccess to keep nose-ee users out - that part's easy cause I have
the whole site set up with ONE username / password, with the "home page"
viewable by the general public.  I dont want to re-engineer the security on
the web site to allow my customer to ONLY view HIS portion.  In my opinion,
my MRTG box is for ME to see what MY traffic patterns are like, not for
public viewing at all.  Actually, my REAL reason for running MRTG is to see
which box is being hacked and spitting out gobbs and gobbs of network
traffic :)
I did get a response back about the command mutt - lets you send an e-mail
with an attchment using command line.  It was already installed by default
:)
So now I gotta do something like,
mutt user at domain.com -s "subject" -a "attched files" < messagebodytext

and thanks again to the person that told me about mutt...

I use htaccess on my freebsd machine here internally just to keep nosey
users out.  You can use it to protect specific directories.

I run MRTG on a RH 7.1 computer, monitoring mostly my main router and our
backbone switches.  I built the web portion of it with security - the world
can see my home page and get an idea of my total bandwidth, but anything
else requires a username and password.  I want to keep that part as simple
as I can - it's not tied to my NT domain at all.

Anyway, now one of my customers wants to see the stats that his computers
are using, however I don't want to give him the username/password to see the
whole site.  I ALSO don't want to re-engineer the security on the web site,
cause it works very well, and I understand it :)

So, what's a body to do?  I have just discovered the most awesome commands,
mail and/or sendmail, which work kinda like blat does for NT.  I can get
them to send me an e-mail message just fine.  What I want is to send an
E-mail with an attachment from the command line, and I didn't find anywhere
in the man mail or man sendmail pages where I could do this.  Any one got
some help for me?

thanks!

Matt
