RE: "-I -interfaces" startup parameters for SNMPD.

I am seeing the following error in /var/log/snmpd.log. 

error scanning interface data (expected 10, got 0)
error scanning interface data (expected 10, got 0)
error scanning interface data (expected 10, got 0)
error scanning interface data (expected 10, got 0)
error scanning interface data (expected 10, got 0)

For 5 of the entries in the /proc/dev/net file, there are no statistics
available in our setup.  But these messages should not have come when I
started the SNMPD with "-I -interfaces" option. 

Thanks
Mahesh

Hmmm...  it shouldn't touch the interface stuff at all.
What symptoms are you seeing, that indicate it's building the interface
data?

Yes
    '--without-mib-modules=mibII/interfaces'
