Hi, I am attempting to do the following.
Run mrtg with storage from an NFS provided storage. I have created a user called mrtg. I am running mrtg with the following command. mrtg --user=mrtg /home/mrtg/mrtg-2/conf/mrtg.conf This throws back the following error message; ERROR: Creating templock /home/mrtg/mrtg-2/conf/mrtg.conf_l_30122: Permission de nied at /usr/bin/mrtg line 1433. I am initially running mrtg as root ( from a startup script ). My understanding is the specifying the user would daemonize the process running under this user, which would get around the permissions issue. So, it seems I can do two things. 1. Specifiy a local location ( /var/tmp or /tmp ) on the box and have it create the templock in this location rather than beside the mrtg.conf 2. Enable root access for this box on the NIS mount. I really do not want to do this. Can anyone shed any light on how to specifiy the location for the templock files ? -Bob The information contained in this e-mail and in any attachments is confidential and is designated solely for the attention of the intended recipient(s).
