Bruce, The URLs were line-wrapped making them less useful.
I've replaced them with the patch number and description
immediately following the number of the item.

There's a couple of Solaris bugs I'd like rectified for 5.1.2.  I've already
posted patches.

1.[ 956272 ] Solaris hostres hrPartitionSize values 8 times too big

This is the biggie. It's reporting incorrect values and the fix is relatively simple.

Its a clean patch. The description draws concerns.

The patch should not be committed until the issues you've raised in the
patch's description are resolved.
Does the patch work for all Solaris2 ?  Which versions have been tested ?

What would be the robust way for Net-SNMP to determine dynamically
if LARGEFILE feature is supported on the system ?

   e.g., you mention the patch is "this cheat".  What impact does cheating offer ?

Can interested readers live with an unofficial patch until an expert
in the ways of Solaris2 can vouch for the method to detect
when LARGEFILE applies and how to change the calculation appropriately ?


2.[ 944029 ] Perl with Solaris

People have been bugging me about this (PERL on Solaris) for awhile.  It's
the only solution that I can find that will satisfy everybody (except
purists).

This patch just changes the README.solaris document.

I've redone the README patch, attached with a patched README.solaris.

Review and copy the final patch to the patch repository.
I'll then apply it to V5-1-patches and to main CVS branches,
unless some one tells me otherwise %^)


3.[ 910094 ] Solaris can only see some disks

This one is a bit tricker.  At present, on Solaris (probably others), it
only believes in controller 0 and 1.  Most Solaris boxes have more
controllers than that.  Bumping this value up too high causes a segfault for
reasons I don't quite follow.

I think its because Add_HR_Disk_entry writes past the end of that fixed array you've been asking about recently.


Nevertheless this patch. is a partial compromise that works at least for me. It gives you more (0-7), but doesn't (AFAIK) segfault.

Add_HR_Disk_entry should adjust the array as needed.


Note, however, that it STILL only reports mounted partitions, which is not the letter of HOST-RESOURCES-MIB, but fixing this is a complete rewrite (which I don't have time for - I've got a sick server) best left for 5.2.

4. [ patch number?? -Slif]

First CPU test is wrong. I don't know what I was thinking of.

It should be CHECKORDIE "^.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.3.768 = STRING: CPU"

but there's differences between the 5.1.2 and 5.2 versions that I don't
understand so maybe somebody should take a second look at those,
specifically SKIPIF DISABLE_SNMPV2C.


Please provide a patch that makes the current test work against 5.1.1
