net-snmp-5.5-31.el6.x86_64

Comment 2 William Ashley 2011-11-15 19:48:47 EST

This problem exists in the 6.2 beta as well.

Comment 3 Jan Safranek 2011-11-16 03:32:14 EST

Now it's too late in RHEL 6.2 development process to fix such bug, only critical bugs are being fixed now. Please contact your Red Hat support to consult possibility of earlier fix than in RHEL 6.3.
