Re: [nv-l] Net-snmp on suse 9

Hello list, one more time,
After one more test, I found there are
two ways to build the flags for net-snmp's snmpd daemon that will correctly
handle the pass statement in the conf file, and stay running.
1) -C -c /etc/snmpd.conf
<or> -Cc /etc/snmpd/conf
2) <neither of the above, that
is no -C, and no "-c /etc/snmpd.conf">
The conclusion I have come to is this:
With only "-c /etc/snmpd.conf"
coded (in /etc/init.d/snmpd after the rpm is installed), the default conf
file, /etc/snmpd.conf, is being processed twice. Once because -C
is not specified, and once because -c is specified. With a pass statement
coded, processing the pass statement twice is what appears to cause the
core. At least that's the mile high view based on what I can see
in an strace output.
With neither "-C" or "-c
/etc/snmpd.conf" specified, the default is processed (which is /etc/snmpd.conf),
snmpd activates correctly and works correctly.

Geo.

Hello list,
As a followup to the original question to the list:
We found that the release of net-snmp found in some newer SUSE 9's, net-snmp-5.1-80.11,
when the pass statement (any pass statement) is added to /etc/snmpd.conf,
snmpd cores with signal 11 (SIGSEGV). This doesn't seem to be known
in the net-snmp community.
In /etc/init.d/snmpd script, there is a command, startproc. Add a
-C flag after $SNMPD. After that change, the daemon comes up, processes
the pass statement, and stays up. mgragentd also works and gets passed
its oid part.
I don't know why this works :-) But it does work around the
problem as far as NetView is concerned.
This looks like a bug in net-snmp.
Regards,
Geo.

| [nv-l] Net-snmp on suse 9 |
|
Does anyone have net-snmp working on suse 9, instead of ucd-snmp? This
is for netview 7.1.4 fixpack 3. If I put in the lines:
pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.4.6.1 /bin/sh /usr/OV/bin/mgragentd
view system included .1
Snmp won't start up. It starts up fine
without these.
TIA
-Becki Kain
