Hi.
Is there any way to retrieve the exact syntax of a MIB node with scotty ?
E.g. the exact syntax for MIB-2 node sysServices is "INTEGER (0..127)", but
<scotty> mib {-exact} syntax sysServices
only returns "INTEGER" and
<scotty> mib {-exact} tc sysServices
returns an empty string (!).

I'm not sure if a range is a textual convention like an enumeration,
but IMO for some applications it would be useful to know the range limits
before doing an snmp set request.
Is there something in the pipeline already for scotty 2.2.x ?

Bernd
