I installed bandwidthd. The router machine I mentioned earlier is an old Pentium III and I am worried about the disk space the graphs will take up as time goes by. Any idea how this works out?
Also, as I see it at present, the only way to access the data is to load index.html from /var/lib/bandwidthd/htdocs/. Is there any other method to see the throughput, especially from another lan computer?
Finally, any web resource which explains one's way around this application? thanks, ->HS
ipfm plus a perl script (which is somewhere on the net) to translate ipfm data (and some data directly found in /proc/) into mrtg graphs and also others which apt-cache serch can find
