o Image files used by the generated HTML are now located in 
  /usr/share/mrtg. Please symlink these files to your hosting location.

This package was originally developed by Dermot Bradley <bradley@debian.org>

General Notes:
o The Debian package currently doesn't make use of MRTG's daemon mode but
  rather runs it via cron.  MRTG is run as root from /etc/cron.d/ every 5 
  minutes and the directory /var/www/mrtg is used to store any generated HTML
  files. If you are using Apache as your WWW server then you should use the
  MetaDir/MetaSuffix directives to ensure that users see the most recent
  graphs.
o To get started, you will need to run cfgmaker to create /etc/mrtg.cfg.
o As of version 2.9.2 the contributed scripts and configuration files that 
  used to live in doc/mrtg/examples are now in the mrtg-contrib package. 
  In addition, the output of the cron job is now written to 
  /var/log/mrtg/mrtg.log (it's rotated by logrotate)
o In the near future, MRTG will run as its own user (there are a few small
  hiccups, hence the functionality not being in this package release).
o For those of you who are having problems using MRTG with UCD SNMP/NET SNMP,
  it's probably access control related. If snmpwalk doesn't work successfully,
  chances are MRTG won't either :) See the 'Access Control' section of the
  snmpd.conf file for more information (make sure your community names are
  properly mapped to security names, etc).
