Hello
the following diff is for the smokeping readme to assist users
in getting smokeping as an fcgi with httpd
while trying to maintain the chroot jail for the smokeping webpage...
if any one has comments on the approach i have taken or if it can be
done more securely.
my approach was to try to run the smokeping web front end in a similar fashion
to bgplg
comments / corrections welcome
