Hi Dave,

   Thanks for the reply.The VACM table setting are given in the snmpd.conf
configuration file. If I want to disable the set access for the relevant
MIBs then I need to make changes in the snmpd.conf for giving read only
access and then restart the snmpd agent. I do not want to restart the agent
though. Is there a mechanism to disable the set without a restart.

Suresh

Hmmm...

The only approach that springs to mind would be for the first
application to manipulate the VACM tables to disable SET access
for the relevant MIB regions before doing the GET, and then
re-enable them afterwards.

Or else have some form of out-of-band synchronisation between
the gathering process and any active N/W management software.

Ignore Ramji's comment about MAX-ACCESS - I don't believe that's
at all relevant here.
