This fine piece of software is poorly documented. It lacks a good doc for newbies to start with. A migration guide from net-snmp would be important, too. Volunteers are welcome. Although author doesn't have time to write extended documentation, he is very responsive on questions. So, a volunteer who takes this task will receive answers to all his questions. P.S. Default configuration file and startup script have already been committed to RELENG_5. -- Totus tuus, Glebius. GLEBIUS-RIPN GLEB-RIPE
