What problem are you trying to solve?

Hi checked and seems to be running on the latest kernel, thanks- I have some issues with NUT- I think its a matter of reconfiguring- needs time and coffee.

smeadmin which is a system monitor is not displaying any network/sensor data.
I had some issues in the past with VPN- resolved it by sorting out my RAID and then the kernel. Im now in the process of setting up a system monitoring and server clone system in case of total hardware failure.

smeadmin is a start, then would like to get affa up and running. main problem is that smeadmin is just not displaying any data-I would like to keep a close eye on the cpu/board temp ive got a post on it and awaiting some feedback- thanks
