Didnt really know where to put this so its going here

Well I am trying to setup mrtg on a FreeBSD box but I am having a problem when running the cfgmaker as it is giving the following error:

host# perl cfgmaker public@127.0.0.1 > mrtg.cfg
--base: Get Device Info on public@127.0.0.1:
SNMP Error:

WARNING: Skipping public@127.0.0.1: as no info could be retrieved

Why possibly could it not be retrieving the data?

Is SNMP installed and running?

I installed it from /usr/ports/net/net-snmpd and then did started the shell script.

Check to make sure it started. Are ports 161 and 162 open?

BTW: I'm moving this to the BSD forum.

No they dont show up on netstat -an

This is the right thing to start it?:

host# sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/snmpd.sh start

That should do it. Cat out that file and make sure you don't need to add a line like "snmpd_enable=YES" to /etc/rc.conf.

I added that line to rc.conf aswell but still doesnt work.

It is working now. My last problem is with the 95th percentile script by sean adams. Do you know how to actually patch the mrtg with the changes that you need to make to get it to work?

I know how to do everything else its just the patch for mrtg.

afaik, the only way to do this would be to manuall compile it from source, without using ports (unless you edit the makefile etc)
