Those would certainly be nice and should be done *as well*.

However this:

Dave> -  does a full walk work properly?

should be done too, since it will also verify for people that their
particular installed 3rd party modules are behaving properly as well
besides just the known ones.

Also, as I tried to state previously (and poorly), I've seen some
tables fail only when you start a getnext *before* the table itself.
IE, snmpgetnext on ifTable mhight work, but doing an snmpgetnext on
ifNumber.0 would fail (the lexicographically previous node).


To make this worse, however, I actually wonder if it should be off by
default.  A huge walk requires a huge timeout and a huge delay in the
make test suite.

I think we need to start thinking about test levels, where this would
be > than the default level to run.  EG, default = 5 and this would be
something like an 8.
