Great news!

You can update the default configuration for gmond by patching
g25_config.c (perhaps comment it out by default).

Please remember to submit your patch against our development branch "trunk":
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ganglia/browser/trunk/monitor-core
And don't forget to update conf.pod with documentation on the new feature.
Feel free to submit the patch here -- it also wouldn't hurt to submit
it to bugzilla.ganglia.info as well so that we can better keep track
of it.
In case you want to learn more about contributing to Ganglia or how
the project works, there are some documentation here:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/ganglia/wiki
Thanks a lot for your work in advance!
Cheers,
Bernard
