Have you e-mailed the UCD SNMP team? They are good people. (Wes is a former student of mine.) Or do you kvetch just to hear the sound/sight of yourself. I spent six months trying to upgrade from Windows for Workgroups to Win95. All I got was finger pointing from the vendors. I have upgraded several of my Linux distributions and installed dozens of packages from source and hundreds from distribution packages. Not having to reboot daily or more often has saved me weeks. This is why I use Linux. Jeffrey Quoting Mark Thornton :

I installed the ucd-snmp from the ftp site but it did not include any of the standard mibs or directory structure as defined in the man pages. I then tried to install the source packages twice, and YAST says it completed but the source cannot be found on the machine.

This is probably the single biggest reason Linux is not a viable replacement for the current paradigm in client computing. The documentation just doesn't cut it. Installation is incomplete with no followup help. There are no readily available methods of determining whether something is indeed installed on the system. In short, I have blown 6 hours screwing with this. The cost of that lost time begins to justify the extremely high cost of snmp solutions on other platforms, so it is no surprise to me that they continue to thrive.

Am I missing something obvious or did I fail to offer the correct sacrifice this morning? What linux god to I need to grovel before this time?
