It looks like mibII/interfaces still uses /proc/net/dev so it will require more significant code hacking to get it to also include subinterfaces, presumably some mixture of iterating through whatever ifconfig looks through and merging that with what's in /proc/net/dev. If this is something that is a desired change to net-snmp, we'd probably be willing to fund that, if the end result is it finding its way into the next appropriate release. Please contact me off-list if someone is interested who can make this happen. It's definately desired for us since it makes the linux boxes act like everything else as far as what gets returned. -Todd ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
