Re: question about agentx configure file

How does the configuration work for the subagent? I understand that master
agent looks for configure files in certain directories, but I am not clear
about how that works for a subagent, i.e., how would a subagent know where
to look for its configure files, and what configure files to read in,
without confusing the master agent to read in the same configure files. Any
example I can take a look on the net?

Thanks.

The master agent has no responsibility for whatever the subagents do.
They will look after themselves, loading or dropping MIBs and
registering/unregistering with the master agent accordingly.

   Those registrations are all the master agent is concerned with.
How the subagents work internally is irrelevant.

   just use the main net-snmp-users address.   And I'd rather you didn't
   mail me directly with initial queries either.  Thanks.
