2018-04-03 Thread Keith Mendoza
Bart,
Thank you for your interest. Please let us know when you're free; we
will schedule the meeting based on what works best for the net-snmp
devs who would like to join us.

Thanks,
Keith

Some of them are interested in contributing to net-snmp. Joining Ian
on the bug triage would be an obvious way to on-board them, but that
will work better if they have more sense of the scope and direction of
the project and feel like they know its key people.

We'd like to set up a time for a short IRC conference for them to get
to know your project's senior devs and vice-versa. Ian and Keith and I
will be there, of course. We can talk about what needs to be done and
recruit you some more help.

We'd like to especially invite your project owner and release manager
and tech lead (understanding that those might be the same person) but
any net-snmp dev would be welcome and the more the better

If you're willing to attend, please respond with your name, your

Hello Eric,

I'm willing to attend but whether I will be able to attend will depend 
on when the IRC-chat will be held. I'm one of the Net-SNMP developers. 
Most work on the Windows ports (MSVC, Cygwin, MinGW) is done by me but 
as one can see in the git tree I make contributions all over the 
Net-SNMP tree.


Bart.

IRC chat to help our new guard get on board?

2018-04-03 Thread Eric S. Raymond
ICEI has a #newguard channel on freenode where its "new guard" -
programmers who want to get involved in infrastructure work - hang
out.  

Some of them are interested in contributing to net-snmp. Joining Ian
on the bug triage would be an obvious way to on-board them, but that
will work better if they have more sense of the scope and direction of
the project and feel like they know its key people.

We'd like to set up a time for a short IRC conference for them to get
to know your project's senior devs and vice-versa. Ian and Keith and I
will be there, of course. We can talk about what needs to be done and
recruit you some more help.

We'd like to especially invite your project owner and release manager
and tech lead (understanding that those might be the same person) but
any net-snmp dev would be welcome and the more the better

If you're willing to attend, please respond with your name, your
project role, and some indication of when you could be free for a
45-minute IRC chat within the next ten days.

Multiple rwuser directives for the same user

2018-04-03 Thread Ján Gnip
Hello everyone,
I'm facing problem with multiple rwuser directives for the same user in my
config file. Just the first one is applied and the second one is ignored.
I saw something like this in the docs:
 "It is not appropriate to specify both rouser and rwuser directives
referring to the same SNMPv3 user".
But that's not my case.
Can someone please give me more info about this behaviour?

Re: sysUptime uses gettimeofday

2018-04-03 Thread Pushpa Thimmaiah
Thank you Magnus Fromreide, Anders Wallin and Stuart Henderson for the
reply.

Stuart Henderson,

I am using net-snmp.5.7.1.  Object sysUpTime uses API
netsnmp_get_agent_uptime() and they inturn uses gettimeofday().
If time on device changes after snmpd starts then sysUpTime value is
confusing.

Scenario:
1. Linux device time is  'Mon Aug 28 21:01:29 UTC 2017'
2. start snmpd
3.Now  sysUptime = 4 seconds
4. Set linux device time 'Mon Mar 26 05:53:07 UTC 2018'
5. sysUptime = 209 days  <-- This is not correct in this scenario.

Thank you,
Pushpa.T
