Hmm, I have installed MRTG on RaQ2 and RaQ3 before with no problems. I use a
small Perlscript that creates a cfgfile for each ip on the box.

The output is the same as the cfgmaker makes, so I can't see, why cfgmaker
shouldn't work for you. What kind of errors do you get?

We use a custom built system that reports the usage of the individual sites
by checking the logfiles for web, ftp and mail. We combine that with MRTG
and another special system we've made with ipchains/ipfwadm that tracks
usage per ip-address. Please contact me offlist, if you're interested in
buying a copy of our statistics system.
