Am I sure?  Yes.  It has always been so and it is documented as such in 
the books we ship.

xnmsnmpconf controls how often netmon status polls, which is by ping, as 
well as how it does SNMP requests, for config checks. 
We are talking about netmon's pings are we not?  What did you change in 
xnmsnmpconf?

The only thing I can think of is that is it may take a ping cycle to get 
the values re-set.  If netmon already has a ping cycle for this object 
going, then that will have to expire first. 

How are you determining that it is not working?

that's what I tried before sending the question. But
it did not have any effect. Are you sure the timeout
we specify in snmpconf is not just for snmp requests
and does not apply to the ping command?
Thanks
