Hi Robert: Sorry for the unclear message. Yes, it's in our CVS. I didn't mean it's from Net-Snmp CVS. We also use CVS for source control. It's a private MIB.
I had compiled and built the agent with that MIB and the corresponding module successful earlier. I duplicated the MIB files with different file name (to keep the similarity of other Company's MIB file name) under the /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs. Plus some other change made by another person - I don't think this change would cause this kind problem. After that I had encountered the error messages right after the registration routine was called. Since a healthy agent was running on another machine several days. So I could compare the MIBS, configure options in between two machines. With that reference, finally I was able to build a workable agent. I think what had happened is two different MIB files under /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs with exactly same DEFINITION and everything else. Then I did "export MIBS=ALL", ran the configure with option -with-mibs=myPrivateMib (this is the MODULE-IDENTITY defined in my MIB file). In my_module.h file under agent/mibgroup there are lines of "config_require(myPrivateM)" and "config_add_mib(MY-SYSTEM-MIB)". I thought at that time since I had set MIBS=ALL so the agent will pick the one I want. And I had the line config_add_mib(***) precisely pointed to which MIB to be added any way. I guess since there are two identical DEFINITION in two different MIB files. So the snmpd was confused and returned the error message said "cannot find the module". Is this a correct assumption? This is especially true if I set MIBS=ALL, right? After I change the DEFINITION in one MIB file to a different name then the agent was happy. I may have to delete that duplicated MIB file to keep clean. The reason it is still kept is I don't know which MIB file the agent actually pick up. Some experiment can help me to clarify that. Thanks again for your patient and kind response.
