%%  The supervisor (one at each node) starts:
%%    snmpa_symbolic_store (one at each node)
%%    snmpa_local_db (one at each node)
%%    snmpa_target_cache (one at each node) 
%%    MA - which starts
%%      own mib (hangs it under misc_sup)
%%      net_if (hangs it under misc_sup) 
%%      note_store (hangs it under misc_sup)
%%    SAs - which starts
%%      own mib (hangs it under misc_sup)
%%
%% This structure is intended to make the agent fault tolerant. The
%% agent processes (by far most code is in these processes) can be
%% restarted in case of a failure, as all data needed by these procs
%% are stored in the other procs. Any other process crash leads to
%% that the entire snmpa_supervisor crashes. If it is restarted, all
%% dynamically loaded mibs must be reloaded.
%%
%% It is up to the supervisor to configure the internal and
%% external mibs. Note that the 
%% agent group (internal MIB) and sysObjectID *must* be configured
%% in some way.
