Hmm.. looking at the code for 5.1.2, it looks like it should work. Do you see the "NET-SNMP version %s Reconfigured" message in the .1 logfile? If you can run under a debugger, set a breakpoint in snmp_enable_filelog(). It should close, then re-open the file. -- NOTE: messages sent directly to me, instead of the lists, will be deleted unless they are requests for paid consulting services.
