Description Razvan Sandu 2006-03-24 09:40:58 UTC
Description of problem:

On a stock Fedora Core 5, a warning message appears (in text mode, superposed on
the initial login screen) that states:

"process snmpd is using a deprecated sysctl (syscall)
net.ipv6.neigh.lo.retrans.time; Use net.ipv6.neigh.lo.retrans.time.ms instead"

The warning message goes off by pressing the Enter key; users can log in normally.

FC5 is cleanly installed; no snmp config files or /etc/sysctl.conf were
administratively modified.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
net-snmp-5.3-4.2
initscripts-8.31.1-1

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
The warning message appears (which is pretty informative and suggest a manual
adjustment in /etc/sysctl.conf).

Expected results:
No warning message should appear; /etc/sysctl.conf should contain the proper
setting by default.

Additional info:
