Re: Regarding usage of pass directive in snmpd.conf file.

[Sumathi G. <su...@cc...>]

But the command 'snmptranslate -On -IR unknown'
gives the correct result :'enterprises.ucdavis.ucdSnmpAgent.unknown'
!! If snmptranslate is looking up the correct MIB table, why not 
snmpwalk/snmpget ??!!

Thanks,
Sumathi
