Hi,
Apologies for cross posting:
I'm writing a c shared object which will connect to a proprietary server via
telnet and read back performance and status counters.
I don't want to hardcode the connection details such as IP address, port
number and password for the proprietary server into my shar

Why can't your application read a config file of its own?
Or look at its command line arguments?
Best Regards

Hi Tim,
It is compiled as a shared object which is dynamically loaded in to the
snmpd agent using the dlmod snmpd conf directive.
So, it can't read in arguments of its own.

Hi Tim
That's a restriction of your own making
Your application can certainly read a three-line text file for its parameters,
and that need not be the same file as snmpd.conf at all
feasghar math

Hi Tim,
Fair enough. I just thought that the shared object might have been able to
piggyback on some of the config reading functions in the net-snmp library,
that might help save duplicating work.

Tim,
Since the configuration file is read and processed line-by-line, you should
be able to use, e.g., netsnmp_ds_register_config(),
register_config_handler(), or other config file primitives in your
module_init() function, and they will take affect for lines after the dlmod
configuration line.

Sorry, no. I don't know of any shared objects in general other than the
one we use internally, and it doesn't use this approach
Thanks Bill, will investigate this.
Do you know of any example shared objects which use this approach?
I’m very new to the net-snmp API, so I’m sort of still finding my feet.
Regards,
