Update:
I tested this on 5.1.2.rc2 with the same result as 5.1.1 - truncated
command output and a hanging of the agent on the one MIB (prtconf).
Going backwards instead of forwards - the 3 MIBs listed below work
without any problems in version 5.0.9. Same exact "configure" command
line, only the install was done with "make install
prefix=/www/dest/net-snmp-5.0.9 exec_prefix=/www/dest/net-snmp-5.0.9" to
help create a Solaris package.
What changed between 5.0.x and 5.1.x with respect to the custom "exec"
MIB? Is this related to the errors I'm getting at configure time (other
thread) for 5.1.x that I'm not getting for 5.0.9?
Thanks,
Tony
