Name        : cacti
Product     : Fedora EPEL 5
Version     : 0.8.8b
Release     : 1.el5
URL         : http://www.cacti.net/
Summary     : An rrd based graphing tool
Description :
Cacti is a complete frontend to RRDTool. It stores all of the
necessary information to create graphs and populate them with
data in a MySQL database. The frontend is completely PHP
driven. Along with being able to maintain graphs, data
sources, and round robin archives in a database, Cacti also
handles the data gathering. There is SNMP support for those
used to creating traffic graphs with MRTG.

Update Information:

Update to Cacti 0.8.8b. This version fixes SQL injection vulnerabilities. See the full [upstream release notes](http://www.cacti.net/release_notes_0_8_8b.php) for details. Note that this update will require you to click through the "install" procedure in the web interface in order to complete the upgrade.
* Remove non-free Javascript files and use a Free jQuery implementation instead.
* Move "README.cacti" to "README.fedora".
* Improve httpd configuration guidance (cacti.conf).
* Adjust package requirements so cacti will now pull in net-snmp-utils.
