Michael Wayne (wayne@staff.msen.com) sent me patches to teach ethereal about net-snmp 5 includes and api, but i haven't committed it or sent it to the ethereal folks yet. :-( -- - bill fumerola / fumerola@yahoo-inc.com / billf@FreeBSD.org / billf@mu.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
