smilint: Counter32 and Counter64 read-only
Hi, RFC2578 states for Counter32 and Counter64 that the MAX-ACCESS clause is either "read-only" or "accessible-for-notify." I tested a Counter as read-write with Libsmi 0.3.1 and smilint did not catch this.
I also tested the MIB with the smilint on SimpleWeb. Have you noticed this before?
