Be careful there, The mrtg config file usually holds your snmp passwords. You don't want those to be publicly readable.
As an alternative you might want to use SUID (Set User ID) on the cgi file. You could for instance make the 14all.cgi script be owned by root and make it run with the rights of it's owner (which is root). Do it like this: su chown root.root 14all.cgi chmod 455 14all.cgi Be sure to read up on what security impacts SUID can have. Serge Maandag > 14all.cgi is started from the webserver.
