I'm trying to implement a scotty agent for some of the unix MIB
objects. While reading unix.mib file included in the scotty
distribution, I've noticed strange values of the MAX-ACCESS clause
in the definitions of the following two objects:
userName OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX DisplayString
MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The name of this user."
::= { userEntry 1 }
groupName OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX DisplayString
MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The name of this group."
::= { groupEntry 1 }
Why should these objects be not-accessible? Is this an error in the
unix.mib file?
Also, I've found some of the descriptions of objects in the unix MIB
not comprehensive enough. For example,
userTable OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX SEQUENCE OF UserEntry
MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The users table."
::= { users 1 }
It seems it should be the table of all users existing on the system.
But, also, it could be the table of currently logged-in users (which
I would prefer). What is the right meaning?
Could someone give me an on-line reference for the unix MIB?
Everything I have is the comment at the beginning of the unix.mib
file:
