Using other people's OIDs in Net-SNMP

[Damian I. <da...@ci...>]

Hi Guys,

What's the policy about adding modules that implement other people's
OIDs in Net-SNMP. Right now we use some management s/w which expect to
see certain info at certain OIDs that corresponds to a proprietry SNMP
agent that many systems at our company run.

What I would like to do is implement these same OID's (which would be
under "enterprise") into Net-SNMP such that the management s/w could be
left the same, yet we would get access to all the other neat Net-SNMP
features on our machines.

I have done this on a trial basis and it seems to be pretty
straightforward. So technically there is little issue.

However would you guys like to drop this module into the main CVS? It
would obviously be an optional module at configure time. That would then
mean that others could get to use it, and more to the point hopefully
others would help us maintain it.

Thoughts?

Damian
