[mrtg] Re: polling using SNMP V2c problem

[Martin Rheumer]

Simon / Gents.

I upgraded my SNMP_Session and BER.pm to the ones from your site.
( in the tar ball, latest version ) and still getting the same
problem trying to use SNMP Version 2.

This time its 
WARNING: Expected a number but got ''
Not the unprintable error.

Running mrtg 2.9.17 on Linux.

Any more ideas. A lot more of our interfaces are running faster
and the data is missing more and more..

Thanks
Martin
