[smokeping-users] Master/Slave Configuration Help Please!

[Chris Hawkinson]

Sorry for the duplicate post earlier!

I took a look at smokeping.cgi, and it's got the following in it...

=head1 SETUP

When installing SmokePing, this file has to be adjusted to fit your
local system. Three paths have to be entered.

  use lib qw(/usr/pack/rrdtool-1.0.33-to/lib/perl);

One pointing to your B<rrdtool> installation

  use lib qw(/home/oetiker/public_html/smokeping/lib);

One pointing to the place where you have installed the SmokePing libraries

  use Smokeping;

  Smokeping::cgi("/home/oetiker/.smokeping/config");

The third path is the argument to the Smokeping::cgi command. It points to
the SmokePing configuration file.

***** So, do I need to fix all of these paths so they are real? Guess 
I'll try it and see if that helps.
