Hi Rado1x

Thanks for ur kind effort.

But I'm not clear from ur suggessation. I would like to explain my sceniro below :

I do have a application that acts as a server & sends snmp traps to the registered clients.

Inside the application the community string is set to Public.,

Know my customer wants to set the comunity string to some other value other than public & I should provide a facility to the outside world so to accept the customer's desired string. I'm planning to do this via., a Script which accepts the community string from the user & then call the actual Unix Program by passing his desired string as a command line parameter.

Currently we have hard coded by setting the community string to public. And know I want this to be in a mutable format.

That is he might want to change from public to some thing else., & I don't know what else can be used other than public. Like is there any thing like Private & any thing else.

So, I want know to what other values that the commuity string can be set with other than public. Hope it is clear know.

cups-snmp.conf

snmp.conf(5)							    Apple Inc.							      snmp.conf(5)

NAME

       snmp.conf - snmp configuration file for cups

DESCRIPTION

       The  snmp.conf file configures how the standard CUPS network backends (http, https, ipp, ipps, lpd, snmp, and socket) access printer infor-
       mation using SNMPv1 and is normally located in the /etc/cups directory. Each line in the file can be a  configuration  directive,  a  blank
       line, or a comment. Comment lines start with the # character.

       The Community and DebugLevel directives are used by all backends. The remainder apply only to the SNMP backend (cups-snmp(8)).

DIRECTIVES

       The following directives are understood by the CUPS network backends. Consult the on-line help for detailed descriptions:

       Address @IF(name)

       Address @LOCAL

       Address address
	    Sends SNMP broadcast queries to the specified address(es). There is no default for the broadcast address.

       Community name
	    Specifies the community name to use. Only a single community name may be specified. The default community name is "public".

       DebugLevel number
	    Specifies  the  logging  level  from  0 (none) to 3 (everything). Typically only used for debugging (thus the name). The default debug
	    level is 0.

       DeviceURI "regular expression" device-uri [... device-uri]
	    Specifies one or more device URIs that should be used for a given make and model string. The regular expression is used to	match  the
	    detected  make  and  model,  and  the  device  URI	strings must be of the form "scheme://%s[:port]/[path]", where "%s" represents the
	    detected address or hostname. There are no default device URI matching rules.

       HostNameLookups on

       HostNameLookups off
	    Specifies whether the addresses of printers should be converted to hostnames or left as numeric IP addresses. The default is "off".

       MaxRunTime seconds
	    Specifies the maximum number of seconds that the SNMP backend will scan the network for printers. The default is 120 seconds  (2  min-
	    utes).
