SNMP cyrus monitoring.

[Jared Watkins]

I don't know a lot about the innards of snmp... but here is my problem. 
I configured cyrus with the --with-ucdsnmp flag..  but when I query with 
snmpwalk it gives no result.. as if that part of the tree is not known 
to snmp.  I ran the query using the base OID from your scripts.   I'm 
doing this on my test RH 7.3 box with the rpm packages of snmp.  What 
else has to be done to get this working for cyrus?
