There are people on the mrtg list who are much beeter at debugging this
kind of problem than I am--but I think this particular err means the SNMP
agent on "sunu5jimc" is dead--you need to poke at that machine to find out why
there is no response to the SNMP request.

In other owrds--it is not an "MRTG" issue--it is an SNMP issue on the target
machine.
