More on monitor problems using net-snmp

[Hugh Caley]

Using a simple script, I have found that the SNMP module I'm using 
(5.0.6, to match the net-snmp version used with RedHat 8) works with 
some devices but not others.  For instance, I can make a connection 
with machines running ucd-snmp, but not with HP printers or Brocade 
"Silkworm" switches.  This same script run on a machine running SNMP.pm 
4.2.0 and ucd-snmp 4.2.5 works fine.  snmpget from the command line 
works with all of them.

At this point silkworm.monitor, foundry-chassis.monitor and 
printmib.monitor do not work for me.

Unfortunately I'm not enough of a perl scripter to further debug this 
issue.  Anyone have any ideas?

Also, the monshow cgi seems to be failing when I click on the "Service" 
link to get more information.  Is this a Perl 5.8 issue?

Hugh

#!/usr/bin/perl

use SNMP;

$host = $ARGV[0];

$s = new SNMP::Session(DestHost => $host, Community => public);

if($s)
{
        print "Session completed\n";
} else {
        print "Session could not be completed\n";
};
