Re: command line options vs. snmp.conf

This is getting pretty frustrating actually the more I use the various
commands. The config files should allow me to set my own defaults but
shouldn't lock me into those choices. Now I can't get more verbose output
unless I comment out or rename my snmp.conf file first.

If I were to come up with a change that didn't change the way any of the
options functioned, just the order in which they are applied, would there be
a chance of it getting put into the next version? At this point I'm just
talking tough... I imagine this would probably be quite difficult and take
someone like myself a very long time to do.
