	I'm using the EPEL version of the same packages and it's
not working in any way that I can divine.  I ran across this
post:

basically indicating that some of the 1.4.15 packages are
definitely broken.  I've installed the latest version listed in
that thread which is from 29 Apr 2011, which seems to partially
work, but maybe not in any useful way.

	Some examples:
---
$ check_snmp -H 172.16.74.130 -P 1 -C public -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0
SNMP OK - Timeticks: (204000) 0:34:00.00 | 
$ check_snmp -H 172.16.74.130 -P 1 -C public -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0 -w 203999 
SNMP WARNING - *204000* | iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0=204000 
$ check_snmp -H 172.16.74.130 -P 1 -C public -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0 -w 204001
SNMP OK - 204000 | iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0=204000 
$ check_snmp -H 172.16.74.130 -P 1 -C public -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0 -w 200000 -c 205000
SNMP WARNING - *204000* | iso.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.1.1.2.2.3.0=204000

	So, am I to conclude that things haven't entirely been
fixed even in this latest release of 1.4.15?  And why does
specifying thresholds stop the unit conversion in the output?

	My primary concern is that the threshold values seem to
be inverted and that there is no logical way to specify your own
thresholds based on this.
