Dear all experts,

I tried to understand again how tkined/apps use community and
other snmp session parameters as my new installation with 1.4.7
did not work. I had to realise that I had to patch SnmpOpen in 1.4.5
to have it working. So I ask again the question, sorry...

I read the FAQ and the code ;-) and if I undertand it you can set
parameters in the following way:

1. define individual session parameters (PER ADDRESS!) in the
tkined.default file
2. define a config attribute for the tkined object
INCLUDING THE ADDRESS
3. define an alias in init.tcl or .scottyrc and an alias attribute for
the tkinde object but THE ALIAS NEEDS TO INCLUDE THE ADDRESS!

Now MY REQUEST is to have a set of general alias for community and retry

parameters that I can use for plenty of hosts. I cannot find a way to do

it as SnmpOpen does only:
if {$alias != ""} {
if {[catch {snmp session -alias $alias} s] == 0} {
return $s ...

Therefore I incompletely patched it in the past with:
if {$alias != ""} {
if {[catch {snmp session -alias $alias -address $ip} s] == 0} {
return $s ...

Should I repatch 1.4.7 or do you have a better suggestion?

Thanks

Francois
