Bug Fix Advisory net-snmp bug fix update

Advisory: RHBA-2007:0853-2
Type: Bug Fix Advisory
Severity: N/A
Issued on: 2007-08-17
Last updated on: 2007-08-17
Affected Products: Red Hat Desktop (v. 4)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 4)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 4)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 4)
OVAL: N/A

Details

Updated net-snmp packages that fix a bug are now available.

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for network
management.

This update includes the following fix:

* the snmpd.log file was having identical lines written to it repeatedly.
As a consequence, the snmpwalk command could take several minutes to walk
the mib-2 tree. The log file now shows the initial lines once and then
notes how many times these lines are repeated. Walking the mib-2 tree with
snmpwalk now takes a few seconds.

All users of net-snmp should upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolves this issue.


Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

If up2date fails to connect to Red Hat Network due to SSL
Certificate Errors, you need to install a version of the
up2date client with an updated certificate. The latest version of
up2date is available from the Red Hat FTP site and may also be
downloaded directly from the RHN website:
