pass_persist timing out!?

Hi everyone,

I wrote a script that was working very well with the "pass" config
option. In order to improve it's speed (mostly perl load times), I
changed it to support the "pass_persist" option instead. As I understand
this config option, the script should run like so (note: I manually
added the ">" and "<" prefix to show input/output):

# ./snmp-psbyname-persist.pl
> PING
< PONG
> GET
> .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.100.1.4.7.13
< .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.100.1.4.7.13
< integer
< 1045
> QUIT
#

I added support for a QUIT/EXIT command just to make it nicer. The man
page doesn't explain how Net-SNMP will terminate the running script, but
I expect it just kills it instead of issuing a QUIT/EXIT command.

When I add the pass_persist script to Net-SNMP, I get the following
result:

# snmpget -c * -O s -v 2c devunix7 .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.100.1.4.7.13
Timeout: No Response from devunix7.

It works fine manually though... Any ideas where I might have gone
wrong? :-)

Thanks!
js.
