I've been using smiquery to get various information from MIB's. However, I've found that it isn't reporting the correct MAX-ACCESS if the MAX-ACCESS is read-create, it always returns read-write.

I noticed in the changelog that this was fixed once before and I'm courious if I am missing something obvious when I try to get this value. In the example below, I am using the default mibs shipped with libsmi. I am using libsmi-0.4.3 on a linux machine. Any help or work around would be appreciated.

Thanks,

* tools/dump-mosy.c: fixed determination of types of %tc's and objects; added special type `ObjectID'. Added distinction of read-write/read-create. Checked output against mosy output for some standard modules (IF-MIB, RMON2-MIB, ...).

Changing the value of this object from 'active' to 'notInService' or 'destroy' will likely have consequences up and down the interface stack. Thus, write access to this object is likely to be inappropriate for some types of interfaces, and many implementations will choose not to support write-access for any type of interface.
