An idea, could this be divided into several articles, like how to config "SNMP" and those could be reused in like MRTG, Nagios, rrdtool and "Security and SNMP" article and others ?<br><br><br>/Mats<br><br>

I just used Nick Mae's well written HOWTO on setting up Cacti on CentOS 4.x to setup Cacti on my CentOS 5.1 system :<br><br><a href="http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Cacti_on_CentOS_4.x" target="_blank">http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Cacti_on_CentOS_4.x</a><br>
<br>I was hoping to add a page or section for CentOS 5.x with the modifications I'm including below.<br><br>My <a href="http://wiki.centos.org" target="_blank">wiki.centos.org</a> username is "GeneWood"<br>
<br><br>Changes :<br>
<br><br># Make sure snmpd accepts 'public' as public community from localhost, and restart snmpd. You can use the command 'snmpconf -g basic_setup' to generate an snmpd.conf file.<br><br># Make sure snmpd accepts 'public' as public community from localhost, and restart snmpd. You can use the command 'snmpconf -g basic_setup' to generate an snmpd.conf file. The default snmpd installation does not grant full read permissions to the "public" community string. Setup a snmp user for cacti adding the following lines to /etc/snmp.conf :<br>
