When I connect and type in the commands myself, and type "quit", SNMAgent also doesn't report the 'quit' command.  If I connect, type in some commands, and then close the connection without typing 'quit', I get the error message again.

I'm using munin server 1.28.2.3, the latest from RedHat Fedora Core 4.  I will write this to the munin-users mailing list.

Yes. It looks like the server never sends a quit command. I've 
implemented "quit" for easier debug with telnet, but noticed that 
linpro's clients disconnect after a short timeout.

The event was written as a warning, since on implementation of the 
notice I though if was a protocol misinterpretation on my part.

At least there was. "Standard" and "Student" releases has been free for 
several years. Also included on many magazine cover CDs etc.

Yes, this is also a big issue. And the PerfData is very different on XP, 
Win2k and Win2k3. At least some of the guesses on the wiki is not 
correct for WinXP, e.g "\Paging File\% Usage" => "\Paging File(_Total)\% 
Usage" since it support reporting of individual .swp files on the system

I've just compiled a 0.210 release of SNMAgent. It removes some of the 
debug info in the event log, removes the "handels" plugin, and includes 
swapfileusage out of the box.

Later on I want to include several set of plugins. eg. "Citrix plugins" 
and "IIS plugins", that can be installed as component out of the box. 
There will also be the need for a plugins web page for snma, but I'll 
let the config format mature first.
