Monitoring Tiger via SNMPD over the network

I have been working on setting up the MRTG on Judith to include the monitoring and graphing of Thor's statistics.
Setting up SNMPD on Tiger it is a piece of cake (edit a file, and you have to create/ edit/taylor your snmpd.conf file, specially if you are going to access it over the network).
Also, if you want to poll that over the network, and you are running a firewall on Tiger, which you should, open the necessary ports and presto.

The biggest gripe was finding the OIDs, and then getting those to work with MRTG (except getting the config for the interfaces, since cfgmaker always delivers and makes it really easier.
