HI,
I haven't yet looked at the code, but the 5.4.1 man page for mib2c
is confusing in the description of the types of tables. This is,
in http://www.net-snmp.org/docs/man/mib2c.html, the following
seems contradictory:
If your table data is kept somewhere else (e.g. it's in the kernel
and not in the memory of the agent itself) and you need to "iterate"
over it to find the right data for the SNMP row being accessed.
See the agent/mibgroup/mibII/vacm_context.c file for an example:
mib2c -c mib2c.iterate.conf MIBNODE
Doesn't the agent manage VACM contexts, and so it would be "internal",
and be kept in lexi-order?
