Mrtg question

[Shawn Guillemette]

Im using net-snmp-5.2.1 with mrtg on a Alpha CPU.

I want to monitor my memorry usage. However when I add the following to 
the mrtg.cfg file I find that SNMPD shuts down and I get these errors in 
the logs.


I add this to mrtg.cfg




LoadMIBs: /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/UCD-SNMP-MIB.txt

I get this in the snmpd.log file

I do see the file in /dev/mem
