how to make check_snmp timeout CRITICAL

[Steve Shipway]

I achieve this by using the check_snmp options to test for a known value
in the response string (eg: '.').  This way, I can alert if anyone stops
the SNMP daemon or changes the community strings.

	I have a host that won't do ping but will do SNMP, so I want
Nagios to check this host's reachability using SNMP.  I don't care what
SNMP value I get, only that the host replies to SNMP.  I tried using
check_snmp to get the sysObjectID, and it works fine.  When the machine
is unreachable, check_snmp returns "SNMP problem - No data received from
host", which is fine, but Nagios still shows the host as "ok".  I assume
check_snmp is returning a status of OK or something, even though the
SNMP request totally failed.  What can I do?
