Thanks Vikas! (and I've already taken a snapshot of the tree -- well,
at least of the "snips" branch).

What about setting up another "moderated" mailing list for snips-dev or
something? Or at least, post restricted to those working on the tree(s)?
I'd be happy to contribute what I can, though I'll admit that most of my
skills these days lie in Perl, and it's been a while since I've done any
serious development in C (minus the minor projects here and there that
don't lend themselves well to Perl, Tk, PHP or something similiar).

Bug tracking is pretty easy - sourceforge isn't necessarily needed for
it, if you ask me. What it does do (IMO) is give "normal" developers a
simple forum for communication and coordination that they might not
otherwise easily have... nevermind the time, know-how or desire to set
something like that up (personally, I tend to prefer the bugzilla line
of tools).
(I've also sent Vikas email off-list going down this general line of
questioning, as well)

My general experience with SNMP traps is that the clearing logic can be
secondary to the monitor -- and personally I've not really found a great
package where it's easy to add/customize MIBs, though that can be a bit
of inexperience on my part.

Hmmm... I had trouble with it on Solaris, too, at one point... though
I must confess that most of the SNMP stuff is still done through
mechanisms other than SNIPS.

I think someone sent a patch for this at some point... I know I've sent
out a couple at some point.

Hmmm... can you be more specific?

Sounds good to me... I'd certainly love to see it. :-)
