IMHO, the snmpget, snmpwalk, etc., utilities are best used for testing and debugging agents. If you wan to do real network management, you should probably be using scotty, perl-snmp or something similar which provide programatic support. Of course, I'm biased since I developed commercial SNMP agents for the last 10 years. David -- David Engel [EMAIL PROTECTED]
