Try to run the SNMP query (for instance with UCD-SNMP with "snmpwalk") from the
commandline. You should see the following string. If not, snmpdx doesnot run,
the firewall rules do not pass querys on Port 161, the community string is
wrong, the snmpd is not configured.

host:admin,94% ./snmpwalk -p 161 host public .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0
system.sysDescr.0 = Sun SNMP Agent, UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine

	Bye, Ecaroh
