[mrtg] Re: mrtg and snmp in linux

[Congdon, Christopher]

I think installing SNMP is a pain on Linux. At least I think it is, since
I've never done it before, and can not find anyone, anywhere who has been
willing to lend me a hand getting it to run correctly. Most people who have
sent me advice continually assume that I'm some kind of Linux guru [I'm
not]....which is why I still don't have SNMP installed on the dozen RedHat
and dozen LRP boxes I need SNMP on....

I installed the ucd-snmp package in a redhat6.1 linux. But my mrtg isnt
working with it.
If I try:

./cfgmaker public at ip_of_my_server

I got this erro:

# Add a WorkDir: /some/path line to this file

-------------------

There is a public community. I dont know what mrtg is looking for.
btw, if I try the same command in my cisco router, it works very well.


Any sugestions? thanks
