RE: FW: [psg.com #311] AutoReply: DateAndTimeOrZero ?

The following is the proposed resolution to entstate-311. The issue 
will be considered closed pending the proposed edit being done.

Replace

'entStateLastChanged OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX DateAndTime
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION 
   "The value of this object is the date and
   time when state/status of the entity
   last changed, or zero."'

With

'entStateLastChanged OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX DateAndTime
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION 
   "The value of this object is the date and
   time when the value of any of  
   entStateAdmin, entStateOper, entStateUsage, 
   entStateAlarm, or entStateStandby changed for
   this entity.

   If there has been no change since
   the last re-initialization of the local system, 
   this object contains the date and time of 
   local system initialization. If there has been 
   no change since the entity was added to the 
   local system, this object contains the date and
   time of the insertion."'

HI,

On this object, the description needs a little more detail. Maybe it's
obvious, but the description should be clear that the value is updated
whenever the value of any of the objects entStateAdmin, entStateOper,
entStateUsage, entStateAlarm, or entStateStandby change in the row. Also,
the description needs to describe the value after hot insert or hot removal.
