      find out where these directories are located. The parameters should be
      defined in an Erlang system configuration file. The following
      configuration parameters are defined for the SNMP application:</p>

    <title>Modifying the Configuration Files</title>
    <p>To to start the application (agent and/or manager), the 
      configuration files must be modified and there are two ways 
      of doing this. Either edit the files manually, or run the 
      configuration tool as follows.</p>
    <p>If authentication or encryption is used (SNMPv3 only), start
      the <c>crypto</c> application.</p>
    <pre>

    <title>Debugging the application</title>
    <p>It is possible to debug every (non-supervisor) process of the 
      application (both agent and manager), possibly with the exception 
      of the net_if module(s), which could be supplied by a user of the 
      application). This is done by calling the 
      <c>snmpa:verbosity/2</c> and <c>snmpm:verbosity/2</c> function(s) 
      and/or using 
      <seealso marker="#configuration_params">configuration parameters</seealso>.
      The verbosity itself has several <em>levels</em>: <c>silence | info |  log | debug | trace</c>. For the lowest verbosity <c>silence</c>, 
      nothing is printed. The higher the verbosity, the more is printed.
      Default value is always <c>silence</c>.</p>

%% Example of output from the agent when a get-next-request arrives:
** SNMP NET-IF LOG: 
   got packet from {147,12,12,12}:5000

** SNMP NET-IF MPD LOG: 
   v1, community: all-rights

** SNMP NET-IF LOG: 
   got pdu from {147,12,12,12}:5000 {pdu, 'get-next-request',

                                          [{varbind,[1,1],'NULL','NULL',1}]}

** SNMP MASTER-AGENT LOG: 
   apply: snmp_generic,variable_func,[get,{sysDescr,persistent}]

** SNMP MASTER-AGENT LOG: 
   returned: {value,"Erlang SNMP agent"}

** SNMP NET-IF LOG: 
   reply pdu: {pdu,'get-response',62612569,noError,0,
