Yes, it is.  In fact, there are comments at the top of the file on how to 
do that.  And it remains the only method for getting snmpCollect to gather 
data from a MIB you can't load into the SNMP V1 loader, xnmloadmib. 
Usually, if you mess it up, snmpCollect will just ignore your entry after 
issuing an error message in his log.  I have never seen it fail because of 
a bad entry, though I suppose it is theoretically possible.

Is it safe to manually edit snmpCol.conf?
