You guys seem to think that the *only* time you'll register an OID is if you want to control a scalar. I humbly disagree. Take the working and popular example of the "override" snmpd.conf token, which is implemented via an instance registration. It overrides 1 and exactly 1 OID. It is highly useful when you want to completely disregard another object implementation and change the behavior of something. Because the lower OID would get higher priority you'll be able to override it. You could do something similar through a dlmod that would provide more programmatic values to override some interface column widget or something as well. I admit fully that the scalar helper is more useful for scalars. Please don't remove the functionality to register instances though. -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
