Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Net-SNMP daemons and utilites use /var/lib/net-snmp directory to store persistent data, e.g. cache of parsed MIB files. This directory is created by net-snmp package and when this package is not installed, Net-SNMP utilities and libraries create the directory with wrong SELinux context, which results in AVC reported by SELinux. In this update, the /var/lib/net-snmp directory is created by net-snmp-lib package, therefore all Net-SNMP utilities and libraries don't need to create the directory and the directory will have correct SELinux context.

Description Karel Srot 2012-05-17 09:20:50 EDT 
Description of problem:

Needed because of bug 814091.

/var/lib/net-snmp directory should belong to net-snmp-libs
because of other applications that requires libs but don't need net-snmp itself.

net-snmp-5.5-37.el6

# rpm -ql net-snmp | grep /var/lib/net-snmp
/var/lib/net-snmp
