Hi,

I have added some new MIBs to the agent and it is working fine, but I
have some issues in using the conf file. I want to give users of my
application, the flexibility to configure the agent listen port and
"rwcommunity". We are already using an XML file with all the
configurable items for our application and I want the users to just
change one XML and not touch the snmpd.conf.=20

=20

I noticed that we can configure the agent not to use the conf file using
the NETSNMP_DS_LIB_DISABLE_CONFIG_LOAD option. But I don't know how to
set the community string.=20

I was hoping there will be some netsnmp_ds_set_string() methods to
support this. But I did not find any.

=20

So effectively my algorithm in my agent startup code will be

1) Configure the agent not to use conf file

netsnmp_ds_set_boolean(NETSNMP_DS_LIBRARY_ID,
NETSNMP_DS_LIB_DISABLE_CONFIG_LOAD, 1);

=20

2) Get the agent listen port from XML and configure the agent to
use it.

netsnmp_ds_set_string(NETSNMP_DS_APPLICATION_ID, NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_PORTS,
AGENT_LISTEN_PORT);

=20

3) Get the community string from the XML file and configure the
agent to use it.

I AM NOT sure what function I have to call for this.

=20

Appreciate any help here!

Thanks
