I went back and ran rtgtargmkr.pl.
It generated a targets.cfg.
I ran rtgpoll against this new targets.cfg and I am getting a new type
of errors.

The execution of rtgtargmkr.pl:

caplan:/usr/local/rtg/etc # ./rtgtargmkr.pl
Poking lnxcapd (public) (32 bit)...
No id found for lo on device 1...adding.
No id found for hsi0 on device 1...adding.
No id found for eth0 on device 1...adding.
Done.


what I can conclude is that I should ignore the btoneill approach at this point.
However, I am not out of the woods due to the syntax error in line 3
in targets.cfg:
172.22.130.10   .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.1 32      public  ifInOctets_1
 2       450000000        (lo)

which is way beyond my ability.  why would rtgtargmkr.pl generate an
entry that would cause a syntax error?
