RE: Running agent without snmpd.conf

Dave,
Thanks for the response.
I saw that piece of code before sending the email to you, but it looked
a bit complicated. I was expecting a simpler API.
Anyway, I am creating the snmpd.conf file during runtime and all I have
in that file is
rwcommunity xyzabc 
and it works fine.

Also, I noticed that even though I set the configuration directory to a
specific directory, the code still tries to use the SNMPCONFPATH
environment variable (In windows it looks for the registry entries
also). May be its design intent, but from a user perspective its not
that useful!. Just a thought!
netsnmp_ds_set_string(NETSNMP_DS_LIBRARY_ID,
NETSNMP_DS_LIB_CONFIGURATION_DIR, CONFIG_FILE_DIR);

Thanks
Sathish

See the code file 'mibgroup/mibII/vacm_conf.c' - in particular the
routines 'vacm_parse_r{o,w}community()' and related code.
