Re: [BackupPC-users] Problem with incremental Backups

Cacti has horrible horrible code in it, do *not* use it. It passes variable=
s
directly to the command line, can you say remote command execution? Cacti
did, couple versions back. Their solution, wrap some check_variable($foo)
around it. Yea, how long will that last until somebody forgets to
check_variable($bar) and you get another remote command execution
vulnerability.

use munin instead http://www.linpro.no/projects/munin/
