-Coders, Albert Chin has recently reported problems on HP-UX 11.11 (see the net-snmp-users thread " Timeout errors on HP-UX 11.11" for details) and tracked them down to the fact that his build used the init_mib() function provided by libnm rather than ours. We link to libnm on HP-UX, because we're using libnm's open_mib() to query values from the O/S.
This isn't the first report of such problems: - http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1637141 - http://sf.net/support/tracker.php?aid=484285 I'd suggest to rename init_mib() to netsnmp_init_mib() and only use this one throughout our code, so it'll always use the correct function. For backward compatibility reasons we'll still need an init_snmp wrapper, of course. Dave has promised to post a provisional patch shortly. Assumed it works as described, please vote whether this change should go into 5.4. I'd tend to vote *for* it (after patch review), since it fixes a major and hard-to-track-down issue on HP-UX (and potentially elsewhere) and does The Right Thing (clean namespace) in a safe manner anyway. +Thomas -- Thomas Anders (thomas.anders at blue-cable.de) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
