Description Nathan Kinder 2006-04-13 18:45:39 UTC 
We currently package a set of the Net-SNMP 5.2.1 libraries with Directory Server
for our SNMP subagent (ldap-agent).  Our subagent is built against that version
of Net-SNMP as well, which means that it is not compatible with earlier Net-SNMP
versions.  This means that one would need to install a non-system Net-SNMP
package on RHEL4 (which uses Net-SNMP 5.1.2 currently) to use the subagent.

We should be building against the system Net-SNMP libraries and just using them
from /usr/lib instead of packaging them.

This makes Linux builds use the system Net-SNMP.  There were some minor changes
required to make the subagent work with NetSNMP v5.1.  These were mainly small
API changes.  I also found that I was getting lots of callback log messages
with Net-SNMP v5.1 that didn't happen in v5.2.	These messages were at the
LOG_INFO level, which was our default.	I changed our default to LOG_WARN and
changed some of our own logging statements from LOG_INFO to LOG_WARN as well.
