That sounds like a bug.

KJ> forward .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.28 x.x.x.x

I would expect all 3 of these to work.

KJ> forward 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.28 x.x.x.x

These would probably work too. The others wouldn't.

No, though there probably should be. I seem to recall this being discussed
recently. You might try searching the users and coders archives.

I don't think so. Would be nice. Probably shouldn't be too hard, using the
OID/mask code from vacm.

You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different.
