今天给136配置了MRTG服务，用来监控流量。由于安装过太多次，所以整个过程都很顺利。安装到位后启动时出现如下错误：

2007-03-05 13:39:49 -- ERROR: Skipping webupdates because rateup did not return anything sensible
2007-03-05 13:39:49 -- WARNING: rateup died from Signal 0

上网搜了一下，没有找到贴题的文章，但是看到好几个由于权限问题导致的MRTG错误。所以检查了一下MRTG的output dir，把这个目录的权限设置为Everyone可写，问题解决。看来应该是启动MRTG的帐户对这个目录权限不足造成了写入文件失败。特此记录，一面日后重蹈覆辙。
