[mrtg] Re: MRTG doesn't work on Redhat 9 (and 8?); SNMP bug?

[SHOLAAS Margaret G]

What version of SNMP are you running on your Redhat 8 and 9 machines?

On my Redhat 9 machine I'm trying to use cfgmaker to create a configuration
for monitoring a Cisco router, and cannot get it to find my interfaces by IP
description (what I want), name, or IP address, apparently because the SNMP
queries gathering that information are returning garbage.

I think the problem is with the SNMP query itself (or how the response is
processed by the Redhat 9 SNMP), rather than a problem with the Cisco SNMP,
because on Redhat 7.3, the same command using the same MRTG version works
fine:

[root at myredhat73 root]# cfgmaker --ifref=descr --global "Options[_]:
growright,bits" --global "WorkDir: /var/www/html/mrtg" public at mycisco >
test.cfg
--base: Get Device Info on public at mycisco:
--base: Vendor Id: cisco
--base: Populating confcache
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Name Et0 --> 1
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Name Et1 --> 2
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Name Se0 --> 3
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Name Se1 --> 4
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Descr Ethernet0 --> 1
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Descr Ethernet1 --> 2
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Descr Serial0 --> 3
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Descr Serial1 --> 4
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Ip 10.1.5.2 --> 4
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Ip 10.1.7.2 --> 3
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Ip 10.3.3.1 --> 1
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Type 6 --> 1
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Type 6 --> 2 (duplicate)
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Type 23 --> 3
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Type 23 --> 4 (duplicate)
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Eth 00-60-09-c4-04-0e --> 1
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Eth 00-60-09-c4-04-0f --> 2
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Eth  --> 3
--snpo: confcache public at mycisco: Eth  --> 4 (duplicate)
--base: Get Interface Info
--base: Walking ifIndex
--base: Walking ifType
--base: Walking ifSpeed
--base: Walking ifAdminStatus
--base: Walking ifOperStatus
--base: Walking ifAlias

Here's part of what happens on Redhat 9. Those numbers after "Ip" are
supposed to be IP addresses; obviously they're not. The numbers following
"-->" are supposed to the SNMP interface numbers; obviously they're not
either.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

No problems with RH 8 and I am sure there are none with RH 9.
If you would like help, please post any compile or other error messages
you have.
