I think you would be happier with option #2. > Information needed: > 1. Where is the class based flow info stored? How do I retrieve it? Most likely in /proc. cat /proc/<whatever> > 2.

Bookmark: http://leaf-project.org/pub/packages-list.html It doesn't appear that there is a rrdtool. If you can setup and run SNMP, you shouldn't have any problem compiling a program w/Slink/RH5.2. > 5. Has anyone tried running perl on a LEAF box? Yep, check the link above. > 6.

Nope, but I wouldn't think you would want to run a web-server as root..... unless you like having your firewall compromised. It would be safer yet running under chroot, but then you couldn't write to much of anything outside of /var/www. Option 3, use su-wrapper to do the actual writing for your CGI. You might take a look at the upcoming LINCE release in CVS, I believe a couple of expansions on the typical LEAF setup are included that might save you some work. -- ~Lynn Avants Linux Embedded Appliance Firewall developer http://leaf.sourceforge.net ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
