This indicates a problem with SNMP. Did you set up a default community
file? Try

snmpwalk -v 2c -c `cat $HOME/.snmp4nagios/community` \ 
localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.1

This should return some information about localhost. Otherwise there
is likely a problem with either the SNMP agent at localhost or the way
communities are configured in SNMP4Nagios.

Run the plugin with (additionally) -v -v -v and check the log
(usually /var/log/messages) for the debugging messages about the
community the plugin uses.

This is the non-default "Nagios Plugins" style. It is enabled at
runtime using the command line switch "-N". Therefor your command
should be something like

./check_if_by_snmp -R /opt/rrdtool/ -T -L -H localhost -i 2 -I eth0 -N
        
Hope that helps,
Peter
