For the sake of anyone finding this in the archives, I found a better solution (also in the archives, http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg/msg23340.html) than changing it in the profile:
-----Original Message----- From: Leonard Miller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [mrtg] Unusual behavior when running mrtg This has been covered extensively over the past few months, so you're not the only person that had the problem In /etc/sysconfig/i18n change the first line from LANG="en_US.UTF-8" to LANG="en_US" Then you "should" be able to do a "source /etc/sysconfig/i18n" If the source command does not work, you will have to log out and log back in. Leonard -- Leonard W. Miller, CCNA United Defense, L.P. -----Original Message----- From: SHOLAAS Margaret G OK, I found the problem. It's the same problem as folks had who apparently already had working config files and were reporting "MRTG running, but no PNG graphs". Solution (from Eric Brander http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg/msg21802.html) is LANG='en_US' export LANG Put that in your /etc/profile Thanks for everyone's consideration! Margaret -----Original Message----- From: SHOLAAS Margaret G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] <snip> On my Redhat 9 machine I'm trying to use cfgmaker to create a configuration for monitoring a Cisco router, and cannot get it to find my interfaces by IP description (what I want), name, or IP address, apparently because the SNMP queries gathering that information are returning garbage. I think the problem is with the SNMP query itself (or how the response is processed by the Redhat 9 SNMP), rather than a problem with the Cisco SNMP, because on Redhat 7.3, the same command using the same MRTG version works fine: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# cfgmaker --ifref=descr --global "Options[_]: growright,bits" --global "WorkDir: /var/www/html/mrtg" [EMAIL PROTECTED] > test.cfg --base: Get Device Info on [EMAIL PROTECTED]: --base: Vendor Id: cisco --base: Populating confcache --snpo: confcache [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Name Et0 --> 1 --snpo: confcache [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Name Et1 --> 2 --snpo: confcache [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Name Se0 --> 3 --snpo: confcache [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Name Se1 --> 4 --snpo: confcache [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Descr Ethernet0 --> 1 --snpo: confcache [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Descr Ethernet1 --> 2 --snpo: confcache [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Descr Serial0 --> 3 --snpo: confcache [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Descr Serial1 --> 4 --snpo: confcache [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Ip 10.1.5.2 --> 4 --snpo: confcache [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Ip 10.1.7.2 --> 3 --snpo: confcache [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Ip 10.3.3.1 --> 1 <snip> Here's part of what happens on Redhat 9.
