Re: [cacti-user] Setup Question

Martin,

Here's a response to this same question I got a while back from Ian 
Berry (main author of Cacti):
"The intended fix behind the changes in lib/snmp.php between 0.8.6 and 
0.8.6b were intended to correct a problem similar to what you are 
experiencing. The problem occurred for cactid users that relied on 
PHP-SNMP for SNMP support from the web interface which does not support 
SNMP v2. When one of these users created an SNMP v2 device it would 
result in the same problem that you are experiencing."

Hope that helps explain it.
