SNMP manager problem in handle_register_agent/4

[Micael Karlberg]

Hi,

I changed the paths in your config file, and it ran just fine.

Try running this after enabling verbosity for config (set it to trace
instead of silence).
Also, just to be sure, you don't have a machine named 'default' do you?
