This has been stated repeatedly, and it *DOES NOT WORK*. The MIBS for
other options work fine, but for any of the hrStorage operations they
fail. I have the same MIBS listed as cfgstoragemaker uses to generate
the files, snmpwalk works fine, the settings are there.
This used to work with RHEL 4. I need either someone comfortable with
debugging MRTG's perl, or a tool to include to turn the symbloc OID's
into numerical OID's for me.
