cause in previous version of net-snmp, there are some uggly bugs like: on 64bits arch, the IF-MIB::ifInOctets.2 return a 64bits integer but must return a 32bits integer and if you request this OID on a 32bits arch we have this snmpwalk -c public -v1 Host IF-MIB::ifInOctets.2 IF-MIB::ifInOctets.2 = Counter32: 0 and on 64bits we have IF-MIB::ifInOctets.2 = Counter32: 118735921106 another problem is the CPU Counter not works at all before 5.3-dev4 version. can we hope an upgrade of gentoo portage and add this? i write a bug report to net-snmp and the staff tell me this bug is close since 5.3-dev4 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: *on 32 bits host to 64 bits host* 1) uname -msp 2) $snmpwalk -c public -v1 Host IF-MIB::ifInOctets.2 *on 64 bits host to 64 bits host* 3) uname -msp 4) snmpwalk -c public -v1 Host IF-MIB::ifInOctets.2 *for the CPU Usage* 5) snmpget host UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuUser.0 6) on host "$ yes >/dev/null" 7) snmpget host UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuUser.0 and the value never change id snmpd is 5.2.1.X or 5.3.20050624, but it s ok with 5.3-dev4 Actual Results: 1) Linux i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz 2) IF-MIB::ifInOctets.2 = Counter32: 0 3) Linux x86_64 AMD Opteron (tm) Processor 844 4) IF-MIB::ifInOctets.2 = Counter32: 118735921106 5) UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuUser.0 = INTEGER: 6 6) - 6) a value not 100%/(number of CPU) Expected Results: 2)IF-MIB::ifInOctets.2 = Counter32: 118735921106 6) UCD-SNMP-MIB::ssCpuUser.0 = INTEGER: 25 (cause 4 CPU) it s not a gentoo bug but a net-snmp bug, the net-snmp staff tell me to upgrade to the net-snmp 5.3-dev4 version, and i which to have this in a few in portage. for now i must install on my server outside portage or work with old version.
net-snmp-5.3_pre4 is in cvs, please try and let us know if there are any problems. NOTE: it is currently masked so you will need to add net-analyzer/net-snmp to /etc/portage/package.unmask
