Folks, there are two issues with the EVAL classified snmpdx package you should be aware of.
**** INFINITE LOOP **** A compatiblity problem between snmpdx and perl. Problematic version combinations cause a infinite loop in snmpdx that consumes large amounts of CPU horsepower and fills the logging filesystem at a very fast rate as far as it will go. snmpdx perl <= 0.2.8 <= 5.8.3 ok <= 0.2.8 >= 5.8.4 problem >= 0.2.9 5.8.x ok Please either - keep your old perl-5.8.3 or earlier version or - upgrade to snmdx-0.2.9 or later or - apply OSSP patch [1] for locally modified packages **** BIND PROBE **** Also note that today snmpdx-0.2.10 was released which adds a swBind probe for monitoring named(8). In order to get this new probe to work the "statistics-file" in named.conf(5) must be configured as shown in the CURRENT named package [2]. This is not the default case for any existing RELEASE. There are no plans for issuing an UPD bind package because a modified named.conf file will inadvertently create a named.conf.rpmsave and cause problems for people running automated update environments.
