[mrtg] Cgfmaker --ifdesc=alias doesn't

[Tim Lucia]

Hi All,

I have recently acquired a Dell PowerConnect 5324 switch which is manageable
at the port level.  I have assigned 'description's (their web interface
prompt) for several ports.  These descriptions subsequently appear under
IF-MIB::ifAlias using snmpwalk.  If I then supply '-ifdesc=alias' to
cfgmaker, it does not use the alias to fill in the Title[] field.  

Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong?  I searched the list
archive (and googled) and the only relevant message said to put the option
before the router, which I've done.

Thanks,
Tim
