I have an administrative user, admin, who uses a configuration utility to manipulate
parts of the system setup, including snmp users. To do this, I've set
/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf to look like:
# ls -ld /var/net-snmp/
drwxrwxr-x 2 root admin 0 Jan 1 02:14 /var/net-snmp/
# ls -l /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf
-rw-rw---- 1 admin admin 381 Jan 1 02:14 /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf
But everytime I restart the agent, this file gets rewritten to be:
# ls -l /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf
-rw------- 1 root root 381 Jan 1
And then the administrative user can't access the file any longer.
I found PERSISTENT_MASK but don't see any way to affect the _ownership_ of the
recreated persistent file. Am I missing something? If not, I'm considering modifying
whatever function rewrites the file to preserve ownership and mode. Is there a good
alternative? A reason I shouldnt' do this? If it's a good idea, what function am I
looking for? I'll keep looking but what a tangle web is net-snmp. ;-)
