[mrtg] Re: No response from localhost

[Rick Goh Siow Mong]

I can run snmpd. I did a ps -e and saw snmpd running.

However, snmpwalk and all the rest of the commands doesn't work on my
localhost, which is running Linux Mandrake 7.2.

Apparently, even though snmpd is run, it can't detect localhost??
