*5.3* *** Important Notes *** Several very significant changes have been made in Net-SNMP for this release that warrant special attention. - shared library version number no longer matches the release number. We now follow the versioning scheme recommended by libtool. For the 5.3 release this means that the libraries now have a SONAME ending with ".so.10", e.g. libnetsnmp.so.10. - snmpd has not been truncating log files at startup, as documented in the man pages, for a while now. This default behaviour has been restored. Please use the '-A' flag if you want to continue appending to your log files at startup. - snmptrapd will no longer accept all traps by default. It must be configured with authorized SNMPv1/v2c community strings and/or SNMPv3 users. Non-authorized traps/informs will be dropped. - Due to a copyright statement that didn't allow modifications, snmpnetstat has been completely rewritten. The new version now accepts the same command-line options as the other tools, which has introduced a number of incompatible changes. However, it does now finally support SNMPv3. New: Building: - new option to disable set support in the agent (--disable-set-support) snmpd: - implement notification logging - implement notification filtering - AgentX, host resources and disman/event mibs added to default module list - updated and new disman mib implementations snmptrapd: - allow a non-default AgentX socket - a brand new authorization scheme that is based on the VACM authorization scheme from snmpd. - Note: now drops unauthenticated notifications by default - registers the snmpEngine MIB group under the "snmptrapd" context snmplib: - new helper for ascii file based scalar integers (think Linux /proc/) - new utilities for dealing with files - new utilities for parsing text files - granular config/persistent file disablement (noPersistentLoad and noPersistentSave snmp.conf tokens) mib2c: - mib2c.mfd.conf now generates code for persistence row storage - many enhancements and bug fixes snmpusm: - allows to use old and/or new localized key instead of passphrase with option -Ck - new option -CE to specify usmUserEngineID (necessary to manage snmptrapd's usmUserTable) Ports: Linux: - new experimental tables - tcpConnectionTable, tcpListenerTable - ipAddressPrefixTable - udpEndpointTable - ipv4InterfaceTable, ipv6InterfaceTable - inetCidrRouteTable supports dynamic ipv4 route creation/deletion - added ipv6IpForwarding.0 and ipv6IpDefaultHopLimit.0 (read-write) Win32: - Cygwin compiler fixes - MSVC: agent (snmpd) support for pass and pass_persist - MinGW: agent (snmpd) support for pass - Fix for 'select: No such file or directory' in snmpdelta Fixes: - Persistent files in directory defined by snmp.conf persistentDir were not being loaded at startup - Perl getnext didn't honor explicit reference to MIB file - AgentX sub-agent connection delayed til after config files read - Build fixes for --disable-agent, --disable-snmpv1 and --disable-snmpv2c - Lots of bug fixes -- Robert Story; NET-SNMP Junkie Support: <http://www.net-snmp.org/> <irc://irc.freenode.net/#net-snmp> Archive: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=net-snmp-coders> You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
