[rrd-users] Re: still having trouble

[Serge Maandag]

Don't know what the first warning means, but you just put the community
(it is a password) and ip-address on the net. Change the community,
malicious people might query the router for all it knows or hijack it by
telling it to download a config fronm their tftp server.

All the other messages indicate the userid you run mrtg with does not
have rights to write in the directory the logs are in.

Serge Maandag.

b.t.w. this is the rrdtool mailing list, not the mrtg list.

Subject: [rrd-users] still having trouble



My network engineer told me that my router is up and config'd to accept
SNMP
traffic.
I having trouble generating reports with MRTG ever since we changed IP
address of the router.

Now I have changed all the references in my .cfg file to the new IP
address.
I deleted all of the old .log .html .gif from the mrtg directory and now
when I re-run mrtg I get these errors:
