snmp tool for remote querying of rpm versions
Hi guys Using ucdsnmpd on linux it is possible to do the following:
snmpwalk hostname comunitystring \ host.hrSWInstalled.hrSWInstalledTable.hrSWInstalledEntry.hrSWInstalledName
Which returns: host.hrSWInstalled.hrSWInstalledTable.hrSWInstalledEntry.hrSWInstalledName.1 = "cpio-2.4.2-487" host.hrSWInstalled.hrSWInstalledTable.hrSWInstalledEntry.hrSWInstalledName.2 = "aaa_dir-2001.9.22-0" host.hrSWInstalled.hrSWInstalledTable.hrSWInstalledEntry.hrSWInstalledName.3 = "ash-0.2-395" host.hrSWInstalled.hrSWInstalledTable.hrSWInstalledEntry.hrSWInstalledName.4 = "base-2001.8.30-8" host.hrSWInstalled.hrSWInstalledTable.hrSWInstalledEntry.hrSWInstalledName.5 = "bash-2.05-82" host.hrSWInstalled.hrSWInstalledTable.hrSWInstalledEntry.hrSWInstalledName.6 = "ziptool-1.3-91" host.hrSWInstalled.hrSWInstalledTable.hrSWInstalledEntry.hrSWInstalledName.7 = "cracklib-2.7-391" host.hrSWInstalled.hrSWInstalledTable.hrSWInstalledEntry.hrSWInstalledName.8 = "less-358-159" --The rest snipped for brevity-- As you can see this is a list of all rpms installed on the system. This information would be very useful on a large network if you could pull all this info into a database, and do a quick search for rpm version numbers when a Security Update comes out. Does such a tool exist in the gpl world that will do this and spit out a list of machines in need of a security update? Or am I going to have to do this myself? I understand it's not particularly difficult, but I always try to use someone else's code rather than my own (poor) attempt.. -- Viel Spaß Peter Nixon - nix@susesecurity.com SuSE Security FAQ Maintainer http://www.susesecurity.com/faq/ "If you think cryptography will solve the problem, then you don't understand cryptography and you don't understand your problem."
Hi, Or is it possible to use php to do some snmp-queries, to do it web-based?
