Hi Robert,

Thanks for this.

What is the procedure for requesting such an enhancement?

Do you work on current net-snmp development?

Thanks,

Tim

Yes, I think the library should handle this. And yes, it should be possible.

Unfortunately not. There won't be any more releases in the 5.5 line (from
us; your distro may continue to support it, but probably only with security
related patches). But you should be able to fake it by including relevant
code in your shared library.
