+<P>From version 1.50, you can use the freeware software MRTG to produce
+really nice graphical statistics on your web site. For an example
+try
+<A HREF="http://www.gb7mbc.net/mrtg/stats.html">http://www.gb7mbc.net/mrtg/stats.html</A>.</P>
-<P>In the /spider/msg directory you will find a file called badmsg.pl.issue. Rename
-this to badmsg.pl and edit the file. The original looks something like this ....
+<P>The following should help you get it all working.</P>
+
+<P>First you need to download the latest version of MRTG from
+<A HREF="http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/">http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/</A>.
+You will also need the following files..</P>
<P>
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
<PRE>
+libpng-1.0.14.tar.gz
+zlib-1.1.4.tar.gz
+gd-1.8.3.tar.gz
+</PRE>
+</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
+</P>
+<P>Login to your machine as the root user, put all the downloaded files
+in /usr/local/src/ (or wherever you prefer) and untar and compile them.
+All the information to compile and install these sources come with them.
+After compilation and installation, you will find MRTG in /usr/local/mrtg-2.</P>
-# the list of regexes for messages that we won't store having
-# received them (bear in mind that we must receive them fully before
-# we can bin them)
-
-
-# The format of each line is as follows
-
-# type source pattern
-# P/B/F T/F/O/S regex
-
-# type: P - private, B - bulletin (msg), F - file (ak1a bull)
-# source: T - to field, F - from field, O - origin, S - subject
-# pattern: a perl regex on the field requested
-
-# Currently only type B and P msgs are affected by this code.
-#
-# The list is read from the top down, the first pattern that matches
-# causes the action to be taken.
-
-# The pattern can be undef or 0 in which case it will always be selected
-# for the action specified
-
+<P>Now copy all the files in /usr/local/src/mrtg-2.9.22/images/ to

+<P>You now need to make 2 symbolic links like below...</P>

-<P>
-<P>I think this is fairly self explanatory. It is simply a list of subject
-headers that we do not want to pass on to either the users of the cluster or
-the other cluster nodes that we are linked to. This is usually because of
-rules and regulations pertaining to items for sale etc in a particular country.

+<P>Changing the callsign for your own cluster callsign of course!</P>
-<P>In the same way as mail, there are some types of spot we do not wish to pass on
-to users or linked cluster nodes. In the /spider/data directory you will find
-a file called baddx.pl.issue. Rename this to baddx.pl and edit the file. The
-original looks like this ....
+<P>And finally you need to login as the root user and create one last
+symbolic link. Where this points will depend on where your html
+documents are kept. For RedHat systems you use...</P>
