[mrtg] Re: cfgmaker - Cisco switches

[Stewart, Eric]

	A colleague of mine has indicated that this is an issue with MRTG's
SNMP_util.pm; a regular expression line is apparently not handled properly,
and a replacement resolved the situation:

#  if ($var =~ /^(([a-z][a-z\d\-]*\.)*([a-z][a-z\d\-]*))/i)
  if ($var =~ /^(([a-z,A-Z][a-z,A-Z\d\-]*\.)*([a-z,A-Z][a-z,A-Z\d\-]*))/i)

	Now if this is Perl's, MRTG's, or Redhat's fault (I include Redhat
since I'm using RH9 and I've run into several interesting problems with
it), I don't know ... but the above line replacement has provided the
desired effect.
