Hello Dan, > Here is a dumb newbie question. How do you use SNMP (i.e. MRTG) from a > remote system. I have MRTG running on a few systems.

Assuming you have an SNMP daemon of some sort running (e.g UCD-SNMP, NET-SNMP, etc) then it's as simple as pointing MRTG at it. It sounds like you don't have it running as you mention you see "Connection refused" messages. Have a look at "http://www.net-snmp.org";, I use this without any hassles on Redhat Linux (works on a variety of *nix). Another thing to make sure is that the host your trying to query is not firewalling your requests (make sure you permit UDP port 161).
Example below of measuring the load on a remote Linux host: -- Target[load]: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.1&.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.10.1.5.1:[EMAIL PROTECTED] .2.3.4 -- If your still stuck, let me know and I'm sure we can assist you through.
