Re: [nv-l] Net-snmp on suse 9

Becki,

mgragentd is a smux agent *and* a NetView
daemon rolled into one.  I think the smuxpeer statement is required
in snmpd.conf for net-snmp to talk to smux agents.  I also think you
still want to have ovspmd spawn and monitor mgragentd (ovstart).  mgragentd
will register with the master snmpd daemon and then handle its part of
the local mib.

Other than than I can't comment since
I'm unfamiliar with the package, other than it looks interesting.  Caution
to not mix net-snmp's commands and NetViews in PATHs- that is, the execution
path should find the appropriate command for the context in which it is
being used.  More to the point, in a NetView context, the PATH should
pick up the NetView executables first.

I know you know this, but it's worth
saying for other folks on the list, that the release notes specify the
use of the ucdsnmp as the rpm to be installed on SuSE Linux for NetView.

Regards,
Geo.

Subject	[nv-l] Net-snmp on suse 9

Does anyone have net-snmp working on suse
9, instead of ucd-snmp?  This is for netview 7.1.4 fixpack 3.  If
I put in the lines:

pass .1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.4.6.1 /bin/sh /usr/OV/bin/mgragentd
view system included .1

Snmp won't start up.  It starts up fine without these.

TIA
