[mrtg] Re: snmp installations problems

"system" is a valid OID that should work fine for your testing, and should
be loaded by default. What OS are you running under? You can try another OID
but it's still going to depend on what gets loaded by SNMP when the service
is started. Check you config file for SNMP to see what it is doing. All this
varies depending on your OS...

System?  That's not a valid OID.

This just means that it can't find the default mibs. You can "fix" that 
by doing a -M \path\to\mibs\folder parameter I think.

Yep, snmpwalk agrees, there's no such name as system, especially since 
none of the MIBs were found.

Try it without "system" on the command line.
