cfgmaker requires unexpected --contextengineid on SNMPv3 configuration
Last modified: 2009-12-18 03:58:16 EST
Description of problem: cfgmaker requires unexpected --contextengineid on SNMPv3 configuration Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mrtg-2.16.2-1.fc10.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup SNMPv3 configuration in/etc/snmpd.conf rouser test auth .1 createUser test MD5 test1234 # service snmpd restart 2. Check using snmpwalk: snmpwalk -v 3 -u test -A test1234 -l authNoPriv localhost => works 3. Try to generate config Prereq: install perl-Net-SNMP $ cfgmaker --enablesnmpv3 --username test --authpassword test1234 localhost:::::3 Actual results: Use of --authpassword requires --contextengineid at /usr/bin/cfgmaker line 1504. Expected results: Working well Additional info: If the "die" is removed, it works fine for me: --- /usr/bin/cfgmaker 2008-06-27 10:06:58.000000000 +0200 +++ /usr/bin/cfgmaker-v3 2009-03-07 10:22:21.000000000 +0100 @@ -1501,7 +1501,7 @@ $v3opt{authkey} = $$opt{authkey}; } if (exists ($$opt{authpassword})) { - die "Use of --authpassword requires --contextengineid" if !exists($$opt{contextengineid}); + #die "Use of --authpassword requires --contextengineid" if !exists($$opt{contextengineid}); $v3opt{authpassword} = $$opt{authpassword}; } if (exists ($$opt{authprotocol})) { Got now something like: # Target[localhost_1]: 1:public@localhost:::::3 # SnmpOptions[localhost_1]: authpassword=>'test1234',username=>'test' # SetEnv[localhost_1]: MRTG_INT_IP="127.0.0.1" MRTG_INT_DESCR="lo" Short test in mrtg (and using tcpdump) shows, that SNMPv3 is really used and proper working.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
