:network management class project...

Hi Al,

   Yes, just make sure that the cmu-snmp-3.2-2.rpm package is installed.
SNMPv1 and v2 are supported. Also check the following on the server:

a. Redhat doesn't create the /etc/snmpd.agentinfo file for you,
   so just do a echo "" > /etc/snmpd.agentinfo
b. Run /usr/sbin/snmpd -f (duh)

After that you should be able to do an 'snmpwalk <hostname> public' and it'll
show you everything you ever wanted to see :)
