When I looked at the diffs, it looked to me like you wrote new code to exec code, updated the extTable to use it, and then wrote a whole new module with the new MIB. I'm not suggesting putting the old functionality in the new exec code, but rather revert the extTable to use the old exec code, instead of your new exec code. That shouldn't be much work at all. DS> I'm afraid I don't have the time to address it. Ok, but do you object to the principle? Revert the old table back to it's original behaviour (maintaining backwards compatibility with pre-5.1 behaviour)? Those who want the new features can move to the new tables in 5.2. And then for 5.3, we can probably turn off the old one by default, in favor of the new, improved version. -- Robert Story; NET-SNMP Junkie <http://www.net-snmp.org/> <irc://irc.freenode.net/#net-snmp> Archive: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=net-snmp-users> You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
