Hmmm.... I suspect you might well be correct. That's probably a more reasonable interpretation than the "normal" OID .0.0 Any special meaning associated with this OID is more a question of semantics rather than syntax. (And RFC 2982 seems to make an explicit distinction between the null OID, and .0.0) OK - I'll concede this one, and update the Net-SNMP code accordingly. > If you do not mind, I will forward our discussion > to the AgentX mailing list. Feel free - though probably more as a suggestion for clarification in future releases of the spec, rather than for an adjudication of the issue. I think you're right here. (I wish you luck, though - I've never had much response to the questions I've sent to that list!) Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
