Package: snmpd Version: 5.4.1~dfsg-12 Severity: normal
I have set up an inform-sink in the snmpd config file. Querying SNMP-TARGET-MIB::snmpTargetAddrTimeout shows, that the timeout is set to 1000 (which is the default value in net-SNMP). SNMP-TARGET-MIB::snmpTargetAddrTimeout is of type TimeInterval, which is defined as a period of time measured in 0.01 seconds (see http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/mibs/snmpTargetMIB.html#TimeInterval for details) I am assuming, that informs will be re-sent (if not acknowledged) every 10 seconds (1000*0.01 seconds = 10 seconds) But in fact, the retry interval, which I observed was 1 second (instead of the expected 10 seconds) This means, that in this case, TimeInterval in interpreted as 0.001 seconds instead of 0.01 seconds. Either the documentation on TimeInterval is wrong, or snmpTargetAddrTimeout has an incorrect Datatype assigned or snmpTargetAddrTimeout is implemented incorrectly -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.9 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/3 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages snmpd depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-18lenny7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsnmp15 5.4.1~dfsg-12 SNMP (Simple Network Management Pr ii libwrap0 7.6.q-16 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra snmpd recommends no packages. snmpd suggests no packages. -- debconf information: snmpd/upgradefrom521:
