But..But...

Harrie has already written a mod_snmp. This is where I don't agree. The SNMP functionality needs to go in the server. As he pointed out, we will need to write the config MIB, but I'm excited to have a look at his tool to generate the C code from the MIB.

In my opinion, the config server is just an added exercise that really isn't needed. You probably weren't aware that Harrie has given us a start with mod_snmp.

I think that you would be better off writing a key authentication module for Apache. Received on Wed Aug 20 10:35:23 1997
