Right, maybe they need not be changed. But documentation (FAQ) describes "How do I add a MIB to the tools" where the contents of the mibs dir, and therefore the mibs list (and .index) is changed. > We're open to discussion and patches.

Maybe a default, fixed set of mibs should be shipped and an additional directory for additional mibs could be prepared (/var/lib/snmp/mibs)? bye, Roland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
