I get an error like:
Error in packer. Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
This is not the best error message. It means either the variable doesn't exist in the MIB (which of course it does) or the variable isn't writable. The ucdsnmpd.conf in the package doesn't allow writing for security reasons--you'll need to create your own config file. If you just want a basic version 1 snmpd setup run snmpconf. -- -ckm
