| Doc Text: |
Net-SNMP has been re-based to upstream version 5.3.2.2. This update adds Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) support (as per RFC 3873, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3873.txt) and introduces two new configuration options (to be used in /etc/snmpd.conf):
* 'dontLogTCPWrappersConnects' - suppresses logging of connection attempts.
* 'v1trapaddress' - enables administrators to set an agent's IP address inside outgoing SNMP traps.
This update also features several bug fixes from upstream, including:
* The snmpd daemon now functions properly on systems with more than 255 network interfaces. In addition, snmpd also reports an error now when it is configured to listen on any port higher than 65535.
* A race condition that caused the snmpd daemon to leak file descriptors when reading from /proc is now fixed.
* The snmpd daemon now correctly reports hrProcessorLoad object IDs (OID), even on multi-CPU hardware. Note, however, that it takes approximately one minute from daemon startup to calculate the value of the OID.
* The net-snmp-devel package is now dependent on the lm_sensors-devel package.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. I created preview of rebased net-snmp at http://people.redhat.com/jsafrane/bugs/454977/. Please distribute it to any customer who might be interested in testing. Note that the package does not contain all fixes scheduled for RHEL 5.3. It's should contain all bugfixes for RHEL 5.2 and it should not introduce any regression.https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?bugid=454977&action=enter Created attachment 312454 [details]

Upstream has released new version in stable 5.3.x branch and we should benefit from their work (we ship net-snmp-5.3.1, upstream has net-snmp-5.3.2.2). The rebase does not break API/ABI, customers can use their applications without recompilation. E.g. I've checked that old net-snmp daemon and utilities work with new net-snmp-libs without any problems.
