Robert Story put me on an alternate thinking path to a prior query I made regarding passing listener address to the subagents. The suggestion was to pass the context to the subagent - which is seemingly supported. I havent found any docs/pointers on how to do that. But after researching contexts, I thought it might be simpler to parse the community string in the subagent instead - and allow the subagent to return a value to for a static oid besed on the community string.
That turned out not to be so easy either, I did find an old post from Dave Shield(2001-06-18): "the easiest work around would be to make use of the 'snmp_check_parse()' routine" and set a global variable. That seems to make sense to me. Dave also hinted that access to this data(PDU data) might be available in a future release, and that the snmp_check_parse() routine may not be supported in future versions of net-snmp. I looked through the 5.2 source did'nt see any refernces to the pdu data being easily availalble in some structure accessable by the subagent. Is the "easiest workaround" still the only way to go? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
