how to make check_snmp timeout CRITICAL

[Pete Siemsen]

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?
