There's no a real issue here, but it seems to me that, according to the CERT advisories of February, almost every SNMP Implementation seems to contain some security flaws, mostly buffer overflows and the like. Accordingly, I figured for my Max4000 boxes that there was indeed a new release (7.0.28) in February. The release notes only state an obscure note that "7.0.28 includes improved resistance to Denial of Service attempts". I concluded that this might include fixes for SNMP flaws and upgraded. With 7.2.4 and 8.x, the last releases are somewhat older -- so does that mean that there aren't any problems there? Martin -- Dr. Martin Pauly Fax: 49-6421-28-26994 HRZ Univ.
