I think so.  I think so.  (Look in the documentation at the top of the
distribution .cfg file for "NoInfo", or something like that.)

but I also think you are barking up the wrong tree.  SNMP should return
an blank. empty, or null string for unset strings, and I don't think any
of those will upset MRTG.

YMMV
