I've followed the advise in the FAQ about making Net-SNMP smaller but
I'm looking to go to the next level. I've got a v2c, v3 system running
but for a new project, all I really need is v2.
I'm working with Net-SNMP v5.2.2. I found the --disable-snmpv1 in the
configure script but it leads to
I've searched the NetSNMP bug database for any issue with any status
that mentions "arm" and found 5 hits including "alarm" but nothing
relevant to my problem. I'm hoping that if this is a NetSNMP issue
it'll ring a bell with someone reading this list. I realize this is a
long shot.

We use Net-SNMP in an embedded system. I wouldn't want the default
build to grow any. (I'll keep my religious aversion to Perl to myself.)

I know that, for example, ifIndex is 1-based so you have rows in
interfaces that are numbered starting with 1. And many OIDs that end in
0 are scalars (e.g., system.sysDescr.0). But are _all_ OIDs that end in
0 scalars? Is that just a convention or is it a contraint imposed by
SNMP or an unavoid
I don't remember seeing any response to this. Can someone please tell
me if I should expect to be able to add to ifAddrTable from a subagent
or if snmpd's implmentation is inextensible? Thanks.

I've written on the net-snmp-users list about my desire to implemement a
stand-alone Net-SNMP-based PPP subagent and, as far as I've seen, not
gotten any advice or feedback on how my subagent can implement ifTable
given restrictions and complications on how ifNumber is handled. I'm

Do you want to write the _MIB_ (that is the description of the data) or
do you want to write code to implement the MIB?
If you want to write the MIB, take any MIB you find on the net that it

Yes, I kno
I have a Net-SNMP-based application that needs some weak encryption to
cloak strings from idle viewing (like the conversion of createUser to
usmUser in /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf). I'm hoping that the encoding and
decoding routines are public enough that I can use them out of the
Net-SNMP libraries

We have an enterprise MIB that is divided into a public section where
you can get information about our devices and a "private" or
"experimental" section which we use for testing. There are entries in
the testing section that could make the device less secure than I would

I DLd v5.2.2 and built it. Why do I end up with .so files with 9.0.0 in
their names? Why not 5.2.2? I'm very confused.

As noted yesterday on -users, I can't get traps to work in v5.2.2.rc6.

As I'm writing a new MIB handler by filling in mib2c-generated code, I'm
reminded again how elegant Net-SNMP can be. I imagine part of that is a
reflection of the simplicity of SNMP itself but the Net-SNMP crew needs to take
credit, too. And I want to thank you all.

I have a demi-god user but that user can't read and write files that are 600 root.root

What "abuse"? Someone hijacking the file by giving it their own permissions? But the
sysadm would have to have given them ownership or sufficient priviledges to change
ownership.
I'm fairly new to net-snmp so I'm not indoctrinated
I need someone other than root (which snmpd runs as) to be able to manipulate the
persistent store (to add createUser directives). To that end, I've made the change
below to the 5.1.1 version of read_config.c. I'm looking for some feedback before I
