Re: snmpd MIB Question

So, I actually just stumbled across the answer.

Having the file loaded in snmp.conf and apparently read and parsed in 
snmpd didn't work.

Adding a configure option

--with-mibfiles="/share/snmp/mibs/filename.txt"

worked.

Its still loading it as snmpd starts up, but now it seems to work and 
allow use of the MIB defined names instead of just using numeric OIDs.

Problem solved.
