Questions:
1) Looking at the code I confirmed the following:
NETSNMP_EXIT_ON_BAD_KLREAD is NOT defined
NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_NO_ROOT_ACCESS = 2
Since "NETSNMP_EXIT_ON_BAD_KLREAD" is not defined, I can see how exit( ) is not
being called.
However, for "NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_NO_ROOT_ACCESS", do I need to change the value
to be something other than "2" to stop the "exit( )" routine calls from
occurring? I can not tell if I need to make a change here.
2) You stated .... "If you are embedding the master agent within another
application, you shouldn't be using the 'snmpd.c' code at all."
I am not sure "embedding" is the correct word to use or not. Our build system
was updated to perform 'configure', 'make' and 'make install' commands to build
the NetSNMP code as part of our build system. Not real sure what I need to do
to make sure 'snmpd.c' is not being used. Is it based on some option flag
which should be used in the 'configure' command or possibly some setting I
should put into the 'snmpd.conf' file (ie: master agentx, etc..)?
3) Here is a list of other files which have 'exit( )' routine calls:
net-snmp\agent\mibgroup\kernel_sunos5.c
net-snmp\agent\mibgroup\util_funcs.c
net-snmp\agent\mibgroup\agentx\master.c

Shall I be concerned about removing the 'exit( )' routine calls from any of
these files?

If you look more closely, these "exit()" routines only occur
in three files:
- auto_nlist.c
- kernel.c
- snmpd.c
The third of these is the wrapper structure for the Net-SNMP
standalone agent application. The code for the core of the
master agent is in the file 'snmp_agent.c' - which doesn't
call 'exit()' at all.
If you are embedding the master agent within another
application, you shouldn't be using the 'snmpd.c' code at all.
As for the other two files, all of the occurances of 'exit()' are
already protected by suitable tests - either the run-time boolean
flag NETSNMP_DS_AGENT_NO_ROOT_ACCESS, or the
compile-time definition NETSNMP_EXIT_ON_BAD_KLREAD
If you configure things correctly, none of these should ever be
called - regardless of whether the kernel information is accessible
or not.
