Here is a simple patch to snmpvar.monitor to allow the version number to be passed as an argument. Every Red Hat 7.3 machine I try this on requires me to do this, I don't know if there is a better way, but this simple patch (and using the "--version=1" argument) solves all my problems.

Not unless you changed the default from 1 in the SNMP options config file (or your version of NetSNMP did). You could use that file to set the version (see change log). --Peter _______________________________________________ mon mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://linux.kernel.org/mailman/listinfo/mon
