-Coders,
snmptrapd in net-snmp 5.3 and later was meant to ship with a new "-A" option to
append to the logfile rather than truncating it. From "cvs log
apps/snmptrapd.c":
revision 5.65
date: 2005/12/04 18:38:08; author: rstory; state: Exp; lines: +36 -57
- add log file append (-A) option
Indeed, '-A' is handled in apps/snmptrapd.c:
case 'A':
netsnmp_ds_set_boolean(NETSNMP_DS_LIBRARY_ID,
NETSNMP_DS_LIB_APPEND_LOGFILES, 1);
break;
However, as correctly noted in bug #1587759, we've actually missed to add "-A"
to the list of legal options! Patch #1598968, submitted by Peter Eckel and
attached here, fixes this. I've applied it to the 5.3.x branch and I'm calling
for votes to also fix this for 5.4.
