Does this make sense? OK - we're finally getting to the bottom of this. What you're seeing is the difference between: 1) objects of type OCTET STRING defined as SYNTAX SnmpAdminString or DisplayString (e.g. the SNMPv2-MIB::sysLocation.0 you tested with) 2) objects of type OCTET STRING defined as SYNTAX OCTET STRING or without a known MIB object definition snmptrapd displays (consistently in 5.1.x, 5.2.x and CVS MAIN): 1) as STRING: XXXX (w/o quotes) 2) as STRING: "XXXX" (w/ quotes) I'm not in the mood to comment on whether this behaviour is the most sensible. Anyone else? +Thomas -- Thomas Anders (thomas.anders at blue-cable.de) ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-users mailing list [email protected] Please see the following page to unsubscribe or change other options: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-users
