OK, first off, with my recent problems with netsnmpd.lrp, I need to roll
my own ;>

So, off I goto my slink development box and start compiling.

[1] For the life of me, I cannot figure out how the libraries grew 300%
between v4.2.1 and v4.2.3!

This is the current netsnmpd.lrp:

# ls -al `find /usr/lib -type f | grep 'snmp\|ucd'`
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       293868 Jul 16  2001
/usr/lib/libsnmp-0.4.2.1.so
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        48364 Jul 16  2001
/usr/lib/libucdagent-0.4.2.1.so
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       286852 Jul 16  2001
/usr/lib/libucdmibs-0.4.2.1.so

This is my current roll-your-own:

# ls -al `find /usr/lib -type f | grep 'snmp\|ucd'`
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       804790 Feb  7 22:09
/usr/lib/libsnmp-0.4.2.3.so
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root      1082086 Feb  7 22:09
/usr/lib/libsnmp.a
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root          706 Feb  7 22:09
/usr/lib/libsnmp.la
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       180385 Feb  7 22:10
/usr/lib/libucdagent-0.4.2.3.so
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root       233854 Feb  7 22:10
/usr/lib/libucdagent.a
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root          734 Feb  7 22:10
/usr/lib/libucdagent.la
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       979796 Feb  7 22:10
/usr/lib/libucdmibs-0.4.2.3.so
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root      1593630 Feb  7 22:10
/usr/lib/libucdmibs.a
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root          727 Feb  7 22:10
/usr/lib/libucdmibs.la

I take it that I need *only* the *.so files; but, even so, look at the
size?  Is there a `strip' for library files?  Of course, I did this:

        # ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared

[2] I fiddled with configure, config.h and Makefile; but, I cannot get
snmpd to work with /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, unless it is a symlink.  So,
I've left it in the default ${prefix}/share/snmp.

[3] net-snmp is really three (3) different pieces:

        snmp      -- apps & tools to do everything snmp
        snmpd     -- facility to accept queries & send traps
        snmptrapd -- facility to receive snmp traps

It seems to me that these ought to be kept in separate packages, albeit
dependent on installing the snmpd package.  Although, it is common to
want to remotely manage a firewal/router, I find it doubtful that these
ought to receive/manage incoming traps; nor, may it be too common to
want to query other hosts from the firewall?

What do you think?

Dare to fix things before they break . . .

Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we
think we know.  The more I know, the more I know I don't know . . .
