MRTG and network interfaces

[Wojtek]

So I'm trying to install MRTG now.

Well, mrtg itself installed pretty much fine.
I can run the mrtg program and the cfgmaker config thing.

I've taken the community strintg from /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
started the snmpd service and ran the usual cfgmaker command to see if it detected the network interface.

Problem is it does not detect any valid network interfaces.


root@xxxxxfree [/etc/snmp]# service snmpd start
Starting snmpd: [ OK ]
root@xxxxxfree [/etc/snmp]# cfgmaker hybodus@localhost

cfgmaker hybodus@MyIP
gives the same error message.

This is the first time I'm having such a problem.
Any thoughts?

I tried reinstalling mrtg, and it still does the same thing
any ideas anyone?
