[Bug 241611] New: incorrect snmptrapd initscript
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241611 Summary: incorrect snmptrapd initscript Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: rich@hq.vsaa.lv QAContact: qa@suse.de actually, a sles 10 problem. snmptrapd init script, located in /usr/share/doc/packages/net-snmp, has slightly incorrect snmptrapd start command : startproc $SNMPTRAPD -c /etc/snmptrapd.conf -Lf /var/log/net-snmpd.log there are two problems with this : 1. config file actually resides in /etc/snmp/ 2. if the config file path is correct, this leads to another problem - the file is read twice, because snmptrapd by default reads the configuration file and it can read several files (and it can read the same file twice). this leads to, for example, scripts being executed twice and so on. there are two simple solutions (unless snmptrapd behaviour is modified) : a) add -C switch; b) remove "-c /etc/snmptrapd.conf" note that file header says : # Copyright (c) 1996-2002 SuSE GmbH Nuernberg, Germany. All rights reserved. # # Author: Christopher Mahmood <ckm@suse.de>, 2002 additionally, would be nice to have the file by default available in /etc/init.d, as snmpd init script is available - but i won't open a new enhancement report regarding this unless requested. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Both OpenSuse 10.3 and SLES10 SP2 have the issue. It would really help us who use the snmptrapd. Although it is quite easy to adjust the path, just the fact we need to investigate why there is no startup scrip, wastes time and is inconsistent. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[[[ $ cp /usr/share/doc/packages/net-snmp/*snmptrap* /etc/init.d/snmptrapd $ chkconfig snmptrapd on ]]] doesnt seems to be this hard. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
