[mrtg] snmpget and snmpwalk problems (not related to MRTG)

[Jason Mitchell]

Since the snmpget and snmpwalk topic has come up... has anyone run into this
error message with ucd-snmp?

snmpget: Failure in sendto (Address family not supported by protocol family)

The docs, of course, haven't helped much.  Sorry about the non-relation to
MRTG.

Thanks,

> Sorry tried something right after I sent the message.  When I do an
snmpwalk of .1.3.6.1.4.429.2.1.10 I keep getting the couter:# and noticed
that this number is changing.  Yet when I look into my logs it is just zero.
Thus I changed the line (dropped the zero) but am still not getting any
values in my log file:
> 873331200 0 0 0 0
> 873244800 0 0 0 0
> 873158400 0 0 0 0
> 873072000 0 0 0 0
> 872985600 0 0 0 0
> 872899200 0 0 0 0

then I therefor know that this is right (correct??)

93.  What does this mean???  such as 93 calls????
> 3.  I have been running mrtg with this info in and have a blank line thus
I am still missing something!!!!!   Where do I look now?????
