I was trying to write a small tcl script using scotty extensions.
In trying to construct a varbind list for a Trap, I used the
following:
[list tpAlarmCatName {OCTET STRING} "rose"]

I get an error which says "illegal octet string value".
But the man page for snmp gives a few examples in which it directly
uses text. Everything works fine if I use
[list tpAlarmCatName {OCTET STRING} "72:6f:73:65"]
(basically the hex representation for "rose").

Do I have to convert my text strings to hex representation
everytime? I tried searching the archive - couldn't get anything.

TIA,
Chandru
