Hello,
i have this machine:

.


On this machine i've apt-get installed snmpd from a woody source:

~> dpkg -l |grep snmpd
ii  snmpd          4.2.2-1        NET SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol

i need snmpd for monitoring the traffic on eth0 with mrtg in a remote host.

there is a problem:

if i try to get some date with snmpdget from a authorized ip , ifInOctets and ifOutOctets are ever at the max value:

05:38:54 danex:~# snmpget <hostname> <community> ifOutOctets.2
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOutOctets.2 = 4294967295


anyone have idea?

maybe is a bug?

tnx in advance, and sorry for my bad English.

regards
