[opensuse-buildservice] Buggy net-snmp on 64bit machines
Hi Guys The net-snmp service included with SUSE 10.0 incorrectly returns 64bit integers for 32bit counters on the AMD64 platform. (I spent several weeks trying to figure out why my NMS system could not correctly monitor my new SunFire servers) Updating net-snmp to net-snmp-5.3.0.1-36.2 available from the OpenSUSE net-snmp project (http://software.opensuse.org/download/net-snmp/) solves the problem, but this then breaks PHP and a number of other SNMP related apps. Is there any chance of an official net-snmp update for SL-10.0 to fix this problem or am I going to have to recompile php myself?

bug report for this? do you have example queries which are broken?

Of course. the soname changed iirc.

open a bugreport for this and wait to get it fixed. or install 10.1 ;) 10.1 ships with 5.3.0.1. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice-help@opensuse.org

If you do an snmpwalk of the mib nothing crashes, however OpenNMS verbosely logs ASN parser buffer overflow messages and fails to correctly monitor the host. If you want I can dig deeper into this, but it is fixed in 5.3.0.1 so I don't really see the need.

Thanks.. I am happily running Factory on my notebook, but 10.1 is still a bit erm.. "new" for my servers. A couple more weeks or a month and I might consider starting to deploy it, but at that time I hope SLES10 will be out and I will use it. SLES9 is just a little bit to old for some of my deployments which is why I am running 10.0.. The rest of course run SLES9 as you would expect.

you saw the need of writing an email here. wrong forum. please provide a proper bug report. If you want a properly working update for your net-snmp, you would need to provide a bug report. because of the changed soname you cant just replace the net-snmp with a newer version. in your first mail you asked for an official update. that is the way to go.

waiting for SLES 10 is an option too. ;) it has 5.3 aswell. darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice-help@opensuse.org

OK. I cc'd the mail to the buildservice list because there is a net-snmp project on the buildservice, and I got a fixed version from there, but it breaks php..

OK. Sure. I will log a bug report then :-) -- Peter Nixon http://www.peternixon.net/ PGP Key: http://www.peternixon.net/public.asc
