The munin-node package runs a postinst script when it is installed. That postinst script runs 'munin-node-configure --shell' and saves the output to a temporary file. The --shell option causes it to produce shell commands instead of table output. Then it feeds that file of shell commends to a shell. You can do the same if you like. munin-node-configure --shell --remove-also > munin-plugins.sh Then review the file munin-plugins.sh for what it wants to do. Edit as you like. Then run it. sh ./munin-plugins.sh Note that munin-node-configure will suggest *changes* to your existing /etc/munin/plugins directory. If it likes what is there then that script file that it creates will be empty. If you were to remove all of the old symlinks then it would suggest all new ones. If you manually add new symlinks there that outside what it wants then it will create 'rm' suggestions. > The wiki page suggests I create/remove a lot of symlinks by hand, > which I could do if most of the default values are wrong, but they > are not.

Perhaps the easiest solution for you would be to purge the package first and then install it again. Having purged it all of the old configuration will be gone. Installing it again will run the munin-node postinst script, which runs the munin-node-configure script. # dpkg --purge munin-node # apt-get install munin-node Bob
