Description Skippy 2012-10-19 09:01:31 UTC 
Description of problem:


My nagios box upgraded automatically from nagios-plugins-1.4.15 to nagios-plugins-1.4.16, and some behaviour has changed. Specifically...

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_snmp works differently.

/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_snmp -c 0:149999 used to be critical if the value returned was in the range between 0 and 149999. Now, it's only critical if the range is not in 0 to 149999.

I don't think errata should change behaviour, even though the new way is probably better.
