I have encountered a mib (full mib attached) with the following entry:

testInteger OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX TimeTicks (500..12000) MAX-ACCESS read-write STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Test Integer" ::= { testObjects 1 }

When I run this through libsmi (0.4.1), smilint, I get:

test.mib:22: the SPPI construct/keyword `MAX-ACCESS' may not be used in a MIB

and it bails. It's pointing at the SYNTAX line. Now, I don't claim to be a SMIv2 expert, but I believe the syntax is OK, isn't it? Maybe not?

Even if it's not, the error message is completely wrong and misleading, as the problem has nothing at all to do with the MAX-ACCESS line.
