munin and foldingathome

I've recently installed munin and whilst browsing its plugins I found one labelled 'foldingathome'. I then started investigating how I could get it to run to give me a graphical output. You need to edit '/etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node' to have a line as follows;-
[foldingathome]
user foobar Obviously you use your own users name, and then, as root, run '/etc/init.d/munin-node' which restarts the node on your setup. This way of doing it can also be used to monitor the temperatures of your hard drives by using the temperature plugin. This should make the monitoring of various things a whole lot easier :) -----

mrtg

Since the 21st of December last year, I've been trying to configure mrtg and to get it working on my centos box. And all to no avail! The sticking point is right at the very beginning when I run the 'cfgmaker' program. My command is ;-
cfgmaker --output=/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg \ --global "workdir: /var/www/mrtg" -ifref=ip \ --global 'options[_]: growright,bits' \ boztu@localhost
But it doesn't deliver the required output to run mrtg. Therefore, can some kind soul please help me to get it working properly, and to put me out of my misery and frustration? Please? -----
