Initial Comment:

(timeout) argument to snmpget.

bug has been fixed for some time now - the plugin passes a 1
second retry interval to check_snmp, and retries (timeout-1)
times.

No negative comments have been raised, so I'm closing the bug.

CVS has been patched in both r130 and HEAD.

We will be making a 1.3.x bug fix release in the not too
distant future. But if anyone interested in this bug could
test beforehand, that would be a big help.

1.2.9-b2 plugins supported the -t option (meaning timeout).

it's true that there is a timeout option to snmpcmd - but it
doesn't mean the same thing as for the plugins.

But the post is correct that snmtget's notion of timeout
should be waht causes the return, so we can pick up the
error message, rather than just closing the socket.

For now, I am giong to set the number of attempts to socket
timeout - 1, and force the timeout interval to one second
(overriding any local defaults, which has it's own problems)

Can anyone with an older install of ucd-snmp tell me how far
back support fot the -t and -r options is supported?
Opinions on whether I need to add tests in configure.in?
