Dear all,

OS: AIX4.3.2
Cricket: 0.69
RRD: 1.0

I have a new install of cricket and have worked through most of my
problems thanks to the docs and the debug flag!

However, now, when I run collector, I get the following error:
(Note: I'm using the -base flag since I haven't moved this
into a ~cricket directory yet. I was hoping to figure things
out before I did that. Maybe a bad strategy in hindsight.)

Cannot update cricket-data/routers/router-name.rrd: rrdopen can't open
'dummy'

I abbreviated the above path "cricket-data/routers" since I'm using
the -base flag. I also changed the routers real name to "router-name"
so as to protect the innocent ;-) Either way, the path is correct and
the file "router-name.rrd" is there. It's just
empty and it doesn't appear that I can write to it nor root when
I run the collector. Thus, I don't think it's a permission problem.
What does "can't open 'dummy'" mean?

Any hints, please?

Thank you --Greg Redder
