Subject: Re: URGENT: help with overriding the value for sysObjectID.0

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply.  But the line I added "override sysObjectID.0 object_id 1.3.6.1.4.1.13699.10"  to the /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf file is a directive based on what I read from the 
SETTING SYSTEM INFORMATION section of the man pages of snmpd.conf.

return an oid that identifies our own device:
    

Why not use the configure directive that's specifically provided
for this purpose?

    $ man snmpd.conf
	:
    SETTING SYSTEM INFORMATION
 
       sysdescr STRING
       sysobjectid OID
          Sets  the  system  description  or  object  ID  for  the  agent.
           Although  these  values are not SNMP-writable, it is conceivable
           that a network administrator may wish to configure them to some-
           thing other than the default values.
