put this minimal snmpd.conf in /usr/local/share/snmpd.conf:

*******************************
syslocation     your localtion
syscontact      you@yourdomain.tld
sysname         your.system.name.tld
rwcommunity     password
rocommunity     otherpassword
agentaddress    udp:161@127.0.0.1,tcp:161@127.0.0.1

# trap configuration
authtrapenable  1
trapcommunity   otherotherpassword
trapsink        localhost
trap2sink       localhost
*******************************

then restart snmpd. try the following command:

snmpget localhost otherpassword .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.5.0

you should get:

host.hrSystem.hrSystemNumUsers.0 =3D Gauge32: 2

now run:

cfgmaker otherpassword@localhost >> /usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg

and

indexmaker --title "MRTG@yourhost" --output /usr/local/www/data/mrtg/index.=
html /usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg

then run "mrtg /usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg" three times, after
the last run there should be no warnings.

hopefully you have apache installed, then direct your browser to
http://yourhost/mrtg/

i would also recommend reading the excellent "Essential SNMP".
