[Off Topic] SpamAssassin and MRTG

["Dan Tappin" <dan.tappin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am messing with MRTG and SA to create some pretty graphs to help monitor SA's 
effectiveness.

Here is a link to a site that look like what I am looking for:

http://users.2z.net/rpuhek/scripts_public/spamd/

The parts I am worried about are:

>On both the spamd server and on your MRTG you'll need to add the following (or 
>similar) to /etc/services:
> spam-stats      7300/tcp                        # spam-stats

[snip]

>Then you'll need to get access to spam-stats through the network. Add the 
>following line to /etc/inetd.conf on the spamd machine:
>
> spam-stats      stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/sbin/spam-stats.pl 
> counts

I am guessing that you need to set up this perl script as a daemon to respond 
to MRTG requests from the additional perl script
provided.  I am thinking that this is not a standard set-up and that I would 
need to do this differently on OS X.

The /etc/services file mentions that it is not directly referenced and that all 
of this data is stored in NetInfo.

Any ideas or pointers?

I will post a how-to if I can get this up and running.
