Then the v1 SNMP isn't my problem, and it's something else.

I'm using MRTG 2.0.11 and RRDTool 1.0.45 along with MRTG-RRD.cgi.

snmpget works, and I get the correct information. Copying an identical config from an older machine (running an earlier version of MRTG+RRD) results in no data ever being graphed in the newer MRTG. MRTG.log is full of '*** did not eval into defined data' which generally means I'm trying to perform a calculation on null data, IIRC.

At first, I thought maybe the configuration needed to be changed in some way, but I looked over the MRTG config page and everything seems to be correct.

It's probably something stupid I'm missing.. I'll keep digging away at it today ;)
