Please enlighten me.
This was my patch from early last year: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=849159&group_id=12694&atid=312694 All of my code that uses NET-SNMP simply does not care about any config files: it makes a few queries to a particular kind of device, and there is nothing that all the config stuff could be useful for. This allows elision of all config/state loads and saves. I can certainly see how the the name suggests that only the save is suppressed, so I probably ought to submit a second patch that adds some more documentation to this. It was obvious to *me* :-) Steve -- Stephen J Friedl | Security Consultant | UNIX Wizard | +1 714 544-6561 www.unixwiz.net | Tustin, Calif.
