What were you trying to do?
Fetch the key names, versions and realms from my workstation
srvtab by using an SNMP query.
What's wrong:
There isn't proper support for this. I should be able to ask
about a particular name,instance,realm triple and get back a version
number; I currently can only ask about a name.
What should have happened:
Pursuant to an agreement forged out last summer/fall between me
and NetServ and SysDev personnel, the SNMP agents on Athena machines
should be capable of returning the information I mentioned above. In
particular, the intent was to be able to remotely query a given host to
verify whether the machine's /etc/srvtab had been updated to have the
proper realm name in it. This information is currently unavailable via
the SNMP agent /etc/snmpd.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
