Re: MIB

	Several folks have COMPLETELY missed the issue, so please let
me start over and try to explain from the top:

	The original proposal was for DESCRIPTION text for a
specific OID in the OSPF that said that if a particular OSPF implementation 
did NOT implement SNMPv3, then a particular OID (one enabling OSPF 
cryptographic authentication) would be MAX-ACCESS of READ-ONLY, 
but that if the agent DID implement SNMPv3, then that OID would have 
a MAX-ACCESS of READ-CREATE.

	In short, the original proposal was that the MAX-ACCESS would be 
a function of what security mechanisms were implemented and
hence were --AVAILABLE-- to the operator.  

	There was no proposal to constrain what an operator would
actually do, so please drop that irrelevant thread.

	Are there comments on the specific narrow proposal above ?

Thanks,
