Description Brian Reichert 2006-06-16 17:53:41 UTC 
Description of problem:

  
/etc/rc.d/init.d/snmptrapd does not honor options set in /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.options

More specifically, after selectively reading the contents of the
/etc/snmp/snmptrapd.options file (if present), /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmptrapd goes
on to hard-code a list or options for snmptrapd.  This lies in questions that do
this:

if [ -e /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.options ]; then
  . /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.options
else
   OPTIONS="-Lsd -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid"
fi

OPTIONS="-Lsd -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid"



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

  net-snmp-5.1.2-11.EL4.6


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Attempt to set any options in /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.options (for example '-d')
2.  Restart snmptrapd: 'service snmptrapd restart'
3.  Observe via 'ps' or otherwise that the added options are not in use.
  
Actual results:

options set in /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.options are ignored


Expected results:

options set in /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.options are honored

Typo in my description, sorry.  The phrase 'This lies in questions' should have
been 'The lines in question'.
Comment 2 Radek Vokál 2006-07-11 11:10:23 UTC 
This is already fixed in rawhide, I'm adding it on proposed list for next update
