Objections?
That makes sense. I'm still tempted to make a stronger distinction between "internal" configuration directives, and those intended for use by network administrators. How about having a separate man page for these persistence directives? That could be slathered with dire warnings about not actually using these entries unless you're *certain* about what you're doing, and don't come crying to us when it doesn't do what you expected.... The 'snmpd.conf(5)' man page could then have a section about the persistent config file, documenting "createUser" there and pointing to this separate man page for the rest of the entries. How does that sound? Dave ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
