RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:
Prior to this update, there was a limit of 50 'exec' entries in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. With more than 50 such entries in the configuration file, snmpd reported "Error: No further UCD-compatible entries" in the system log. In this update this fixed limit is removed and there can be any number of 'exec' entries in the snmpd configuration file.

Comment 7 Karel Srot 2012-07-09 13:15:02 UTC 
I have encountered some differences between snmpd on RHEL5 and RHEL6...

net-snmp-5.3.2.2-18.el5:
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extCommand.1 = STRING: /bin/echo message 1
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extErrFix.1 = INTEGER: 0

net-snmp-5.5-41.el6_3.1:
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extCommand.1 = STRING: /bin/echo
UCD-SNMP-MIB::extErrFix.1 = INTEGER: noError(0)

Is this intentional?

UCD-SNMP-MIB::extErrFix.1 = noError(0) is intentional, it just adds meaning to the zero value.


UCD-SNMP-MIB::extCommand.1 = STRING: /bin/echo missing cmdline arguments seems to be bug, UCD-SNMP-MIB describes 'extCommand' as 'The command line to be executed,' which IMHO should contain also its arguments.
