snmpd keeps diing without a reson even in debug mode.

[Lyuben Bahtarliev]

Greets guys,
I keep getting snmpd diing without a reason even in debug mode. The
output is as follows:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

PS: The machine has 2 LACP enabled cards for uplink and 3 for downlink
to customers and is serving as a pppoe concentrator. The network traffic
through it is pretty much heavy and dense.

Would you be willing to try out latest 5.4.x SVN?

There's believed to be a dedicated fix for this problem in SVN and we'd be interested to know whether it fixes the crash for you.

You could either build your own from http://www.net-snmp.org/nightly/tarballs/ or try a binary snapshot package from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/net-snmp/Debian_Etch/ .


Cheers,
Thomas

Yep the latest main snapshot of the SVN solved the issue. Some other
arouse but I am quite comfortable with solving them by myself.

Thanks for the help,
Lyuben

Still, if you find the time to report any problems in SVN trunk, we'd be happy to know about them.
