I am setting up Cricket (latest version) on an Alphaserver DS20 running
Digital UNIX V4.0F.

perl5.005_03
rrdtool-1.0.4
SNMP_Session-0.72
cricket-0_70

A compile of the config tree worked okay but when collector was first run we got
errors that the 'router name' could not be resolved to the IP address. As per an
earlier suggestion in these archives we added the IP address to /etc/hosts and
checked the DNS forward / rev were okay.

# nslookup isbr22
Server: watt.isd.tafensw.EDU.AU
Address: 153.107.23.1

Name: isbr22.schools.nsw.EDU.AU
Address: 10.23.254.250
Aliases: isbr22.isd.tafensw.EDU.AU

After doing another compile and re-running collector the following errors are
displayed:

[28-Sep-1999 12:30:05 ] Starting collector: Cricket version 0.70 ( Wed Aug 11 11
:33:37 PDT 1999 )

Any suggestions - are we missing something in setting up the 'interface-name'??
