hi. i'm running scotty-1.1.3 under tkined-1.1 on a sun 4.1.3.
when i try to set a read-write SNMP variable via the mib browser i get an
error:

Set operation failed:

noSuchName 1 {1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 {OCTET STRING} ericm@microunity.com}

in this case i tried to set system.sysContact.
it looks like {OCTET STRING} is supposed to be replaced with
something that's meaningful to SNMP.
