We have been trying to set an OID value using a python script started as a "pass_persist" EXEC in snmpd.conf. Our experience was the same as described by Jakob Scheck in a previous thread (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=11595889 <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=11595889> ): when we tried to set values with a wrong type, the snmpset command reported success. With debugging information, we found that the "wrong-type" string was returned from the python script to STDOUT, and the "snmpd" received the error string. However, this error report seemed to be ignored somewhere and nothing was returned to the SNMP manager. Therefore, the SNMP manager thought that the SET operation was successful. We tried with both "snmpset" and SNMPc (a commercial SNMP manager product ) and both behaved the same way. We also noticed that this problem was reported as a bug (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12694&atid=112694&func=detail&aid=864281) in 2003. However, there haven't been any followups on this issue. We'll appreciate any help or advices. Lily
