What MIB files in /usr/share/snmp/mibs "can be changed"? What's problematic (and arguably a bug) is the management of the .index file in the /usr file system.

I'm not yet convinced, though, that moving the default location is the best solution to the above problem. +Thomas -- Thomas Anders (thomas.anders at blue-cable.de) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
