Yigal makes a very good point. I actually was being mean-spirited but
it's best that you not take it that way. :) "Newbie" by the way is
another word for "beginner."
Questions to mailing lists are also more likely to get answers if you
show that you've made the effort to find the answer yourself. "I read
this document but I didn't understand this one section" is more likely
to get a helpful response than "tell me how to do it". If you have to do
some background study in order to understand the documentation, folks
here might even be able to help you with that, maybe give you links to
helpful documents. But you need to give the MRTG documents a try first.
Best regards,
James Overbeck
