Re: Tutorial

And of course, it's quite possible that the reason you think its "the 
most awful peace of software I have ever seen" is because you're either 
ignorant or unlearned, as evidenced by your request for a copy and 
paste, substitute IP's solution. Perhaps, instead of bashing a very 
useful tool to a mailing list about the tool itself, you should take the 
time to read the README files, etc and do good google searches and post 
meaningful questions to the list. And perhaps next time you should be a 
little bit smarter and instead of lying to your boss about your skills, 
you should just be honest and say "I don't really know that much about 
routers, networking, and how to read manuals" and let him know he's 
going to have to wait for your learning curve to catch up. Or, he could 
just cut his losses and fire your lazy arse and ask one of us that 
actually understand networking and SNMP and RRD, etc to do it for him as 
an outside consultant.

To re-quote you:

"Sorry for the mood, but writing calmly is difficult when having to 
reply to meaningless crap and accusations from an ignoramus"

And BTW, its "piece", not "peace". Perhaps you should finish your GED 
before you try get started on configuring Cricket... and definitely 
before you spend more time bashing it. You should focus your bashing on 
your own lack of skills, knowledge, and expertise... not on a program 
you simply don't understand.
