Public bug reported:
When trying to create a row in the snmpTargetAddrTable in a 64-bit
system the attempt fails with this error:
ddsk...@ddskufo-laptop:~/Skrivbord/SNMP RFC'er/snmpV2$ snmptable localhost
snmpTargetAddrTable
SNMP-TARGET-MIB::snmpTargetAddrTable: No entries
ddsk...@ddskufo-laptop:~/Skrivbord/SNMP RFC'er/snmpV2$ snmpset localhost
snmpTargetAddrRowStatus."'ulrik'" i 5
Error in packet.
Reason: wrongLength (The set value has an illegal length from what the agent
expects)
Failed object: SNMP-TARGET-MIB::snmpTargetAddrRowStatus.'ulrik'
The error is located to this piece of code on row 1504 in
net-snmp/agent/mibgroup/target/snmpTargetAddrEntry.c:
if (var_val_len != sizeof(int)) {
DEBUGMSGTL(("snmpTargetAddrEntry",
"write to snmpTargetAddrRowStatus: bad length\n"));
char s[128];
sprintf(&s, "int length %d != %d\n", sizeof(int), var_val_len);
DEBUGMSGTL(("snmpTargetAddrEntry", s));
return SNMP_ERR_WRONGLENGTH;
}
var_val_len is reported as 4
sizeof(int) in a 64-bit system
And 4 != 8, which means SNMP_ERR_WRONGLENGTH will be returned.
In the case sizeof(int) should be replaced with 4 and the if statement should
look like:
if (var_val_len != 4) {
It would be suitable for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
