[Nagiosplug-devel] check_iftable - Submission

[Subhendu Ghosh]

the current version does skip interfaces with an ifType of 23 (PPP)

The ifConnectorPresent may not work as well if we have ATM/FR PVCs defined 
as virtual interfaces - no connectors :(

It might be possible to make a user-defineable listy of itTypes to ignore 
-but that will have to wait till the next release.
