Hello, I'm currently trying to enable bsnmpd to export the interface descriptions that are supported on FreeBSD 8+ as ifDescr and while doing it I'm wondering if RTM_IFINFO msgs should be generated on description set/change. This would greatly simplify the functionality in bsnmpd and would prevent needless polls/ioctls. My opinion is that it probably is OK to generate RTM_IFINFO on this = event but are there other opinions? Regards, Nikolay=
