Query about ERR_OID_ADMIN_ZERO (last subidentifier assigned to ... may not be zero)

16 Apr 2009


      Hi,
Running smilint (0.4.8) over a MIB definition file I'm responsible for maintining, provoked this error output:
<filename>:<linenum>: [1] last subidentifier assigned to `national' may not be zero
The source file had, at that point:
    ::= { iso
          member-body(2)
          gb(826)
          national(0)
          eng-ltd(1)
          <etc>
          }
Looking at http://www.oid-info.com/get/1.2.826.0.1 shows that this appears to be perfectly legal though.
I found that by changing the source to
    ::= { iso
          member-body(2)
          gb(826)
          0
          eng-ltd(1)
          <etc>
          }
the error was suppressed, but IMO this is a bug in parser-smi.c (lines 976 & following), not in my MIB.
Thoughts?
