Apparently, when someone requests a nonexistent variable from snmpd,
it logs the following:
May 10 13:56:12 pit-manager snmpd[244]: snmpin: error in proc_snmp_msg, code -4
There are several problems with this:
1. In my opinion, a missing variable is not a severe enough occurrence
that there should be clutter in the log files about it. Perhaps a
lower priority would be appropriate. The priority it's at now gets
saved in /usr/adm/messages.
2. The error message is horrible. It should be made to say something
intelligent.
