Title: RE: [Ethereal-users] loading MIBS
You
may have to re-compile the library with the MIBs built in.
--J
Hi
I thought that as well.
I tried puting the mibs under ~root/.snmp/mibs
put the config file under ~root/.snmp/snmp.conf
As 'root' user I can walk the MIB and see the entries in
symbolic format.
still no joy with ethereal :-(

?
when you are doing the 'snmpwalk', are you running as
root, or as a
normal user?
the mibs are read on a per-user basis, so placing a mib
in a user
/.snmp/mibs dir will not be visible to root,
which is where ethereal is
being run from. Am i
close?
