RHBA-2012:1106 - net-snmp bug fix update
Synopsis
net-snmp bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated net-snmp packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The net-snmp packages provide various libraries and tools for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), including an SNMP library, an extensible agent, tools for requesting or setting information from SNMP agents, tools for generating and handling SNMP traps, a version of the netstat command which uses SNMP, and a Tk/Perl Management Information Base (MIB) browser.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Prior to this update, there was a limit of 50 'exec' entries in the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file. With more than 50 such entries in the configuration file, the snmpd daemon returned the "Error: No further UCD-compatible entries" error message to the system log. With this update, this limit has been removed and there can now be any number of 'exec' entries in the snmpd configuration file, thus preventing this bug. (BZ#836252)
All users of net-snmp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
