Re: [tkined] Bug in Scotty's SNMP agent implementation

Hi,

In addition to the SNMPv2->SNMPv1 error code mapping issues idenified by
another posting, it is also true that the readOnly SNMPv1 code should
*NEVER* be generated. A read-only object is not visible in the MIB view
for a SET request and so noSuchName is the correct response. The readOnly
error code was initially intended to handle this case, but I think the
development of the access control/MIB view mechanisms made it redundant
even before the first V1 documents became standardized. I am sure that the
V1 documents identify and explain this.

Hope this helps,
Robin
