MIBs are loaded from paths, which you can control with the MIBDIRS environment variable. But, to answer your question, it loads the first MIB it can find and if there are conflicts it picks the one with the highest precedence in the MIB path. (~/.snmp/mibs should always override /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs) -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: New Crystal Reports XI.
