Ron, it seems clear that the -06 versions are OK then, no need for
a real re-review.

Ok. In that case, you are fine. The MIB Rx is the MIB Doctor Review
group. Your AD will introduce you to them somewhere in the process.

This draft is ready for publication as a Standards Track document,
except for the following nit:



In fact, the 2 documents are informational.



- The client MIB contains a note to the RFC editor about the reference
[DYNSERV]. However, there is no such reference.



I checked it and the client MIB is Ok, in the server MIB it seems that
the RFC ed note is incorrect and [DYNSERV] should be replaced by
[DYNCLNT]. The references in both of the drafts are correct, with the
exception of the RFC ed note in the server MIB.




And two substantial questions:

- Can I assume that it has passed MIB Rx Review? (It compiles clean).



Not sure what MIB Rx review is. I compliled the MIB with Smilent.



- Should this MIB *ever* be used in conjuntion with SNMPv1? I know that
you *recommend* against it. But it seems that divulging the information
in this mib to a hostile party might be pretty bad.



http://www.ops.ietf.org/mib-security.html contains preformatted text for
the security section and that text was put in the draft. See the text on
that webpage in the section "-- else if there are no read-write objects
in your MIB module". The text in the draft is more or less a copy/paste
from that webpage. Also the other Radius MIBs like
draft-ietf-radext-rfc2618bis-03.txt are also following the guidelines on
the mentioned webpage.

regards,
Stefaan
