[mrtg] Re: SMTP on TCP port

[Peter P. Benac]

Chris,

    MRTG talks to the SNMP agents running on the remote system to extract
the data it requires.  If you are trying to get MRTG to talk to net-snmp
then you ARE writing an agent.

    Regardless, if you are going to bind to UDP port 161 you MUST disable
the Redhat Agents and you can NOT use the Listen/Connect functions that TCP
uses.  You MUST use the recv function for the socket.  Listen/Connect is for
TCP.  The recv function is for UDP.  

    I suspect you can do the snmpwalks on this device locally because the
RedHat agents are running.  I further suspect that you can't do so remotely
because your installation of RedHat has the remote snmp functions to it's
Agents disabled or blocked.
