hotdog# pkg_info tcl-scotty
Information for tcl-scotty-2.1.10:

As fresh as they come from the press... ;-)

Never missed them... I run snmpd on my servers for a particular
purpose and never needed anything else that wasn't there already.
However, this shouldn't mean that there wasn't a place for
improvement...

Well, only if you really need to use them...

Ok, fixing this involves more time than I can spare at the moment.
I've got to finish another big assignment and to prepare myself for
the exams in two weeks time... perhaps someone else wants to look at
this... I have no idea about writing/correcting MIB files...

I will file a PR and attend to it if it is still there after my exams...

Personally I feel that it is wrong to impose a hard coded path to all
MIB's that may be installed on a system, especially knowing that snmpd
and scotty usually are not installed on the same system anyhow... agreed?
I run snmpd on the servers and scotty on the workstation....
