Hello,

I'm getting rather frustrated trying to get an snmpd running for
FreeBSD 2.1 machines. Please help! =-) Problem: the interface counters 
never seem to get updated once snmpd is running. 

Example. (on a pretty busy system network-wise):

$ snmpget -v 1 localhost public interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifInOctets.1
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifInOctets.1 = 558046531

(five minutes later)

$ snmpget -v 1 localhost public interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifInOctets.1
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifInOctets.1 = 558046531

Argh... the numbers stay the same even though gobs of traffic
passes through this ".1" interface (happens to be an ed0, the
machine's only connection to the net.)

I tried using a really old port of cmu-snmpd I happened to have
(from NoDak, I think), I tried using the ucd-snmpd 3.1 from the
2.1.5-ports, and I tried manually building the ucd-snmpd 3.1.1
from ftp.ece.ucdavis.edu... all give the same results. =-(

Note that all the machines I tried to run the binaries on are
running various incarantions of 2.1-R kernels. Snmpget and
friends show normal behaviour when pointed to other SNMP
servers (e.g. our Cisco routers.)

Thanks for any help! I'm sure it's something tiny and stupid
on my part, but I can't figure out what that is!
