Insufficient information. How were the existing versions of those commands installed? If they are part of a vendor-supplied package, then they'll typically be located in /usr/bin/snmp*, and the /usr/local/bin/ versions will be completely separate. If they were compiled from source, then they'll probably be in /usr/local/bin/snmp* (assuming a default run of configure), and your new versions will overwrite them. But none of us can tell you how your existing systems are set up. You've got access to these boxes - look for yourself. > 2) Does anyone know if replacing the existing SNMP commands, etc.. with the > new versions of the NetSNMP commands which come with NetSNMP-5.4 would cause > me any problems? How can we possibly know that? You haven't said anything about the existing setup - what version, configuration, how they're used, anything. You haven't even said whether the existing commands are Net-SNMP applications or not. (Just 'cos the names are the same doesn't mean that they're necessarily the same software package). > I want to make sure the newer versions of the NetSNMP > commands (which read "conf" files) can replace the older SNMP commands > (which I do not think read "conf" files ...??) without causing problems. If the older SNMP commands are Net-SNMP (or UCD) commands, then they *will* read the appropriate conf files. We haven't fundamentally changed the way that run-time configuration of the Net-SNMP library works in all the time that I've been working on this project. If you want to make sure that installing the new versions doesn't break anything, then you're going to have to set up a test system, with the new applications installed, and run typical usage tests. There's no way that a group of complete strangers can give you a cast-iron guarantee regarding a totally unknown configuration and usage setup. (And you'd be a bloody fool to believe us if we did!). If you are concerned about a smooth upgrade (which is perfectly reasonable), then you're going to have to run the necessary tests for yourself.
