fc3t2: mrtg doesn't run?

[Marius Andreiana]

Hi

Default mrtg cron won't execute:
[root@marte cron.d]# cat /etc/cron.d/mrtg
*/5 * * * * root /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg --lock-
file /var/lock/mrtg/mrtg_l --confcache-file /var/lib/mrtg/mrtg.ok

# mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Mrtg will most likely not work properly when the environment
       variable LANG is set to UTF-8. Please run mrtg in an environment
       where this is not the case. Try the following command to start:

env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Even when running manually with
env LANG=C  /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg --lock-
file /var/lock/mrtg/mrtg_l --confcache-file /var/lib/mrtg/mrtg.ok

it doesn't create any files in /var/www/mrtg

strace shows, among others,
open("/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/Socket6.pm", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE)
= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Ughhh. That sounds like an opportunity to make some free space on the CD-ROM's

Please bugzilla - thats probably a dependancy error

:-)

What other monitoring proggie would you recomend? I hate when my
neighbours begin to use my connection to download big stuff, and this
helps me a lot.

No opinion there, but we shouldn't be leaving non unicode capable stuff in
the base distro IMHO

I thought that warning was because of problems with perl modules not mrtg
itself? IIRC that warning appeared back when utf-8 was first added to the distro
and perl the perl modules could not handle it. If this is correct are we removing
perl? :-)
