net-snmp (5.4.3~dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low As of version 5.4.3, upstream ships a new default configuration in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, which only uses SNMPv3 rather than SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. This new default configuration also binds to udp:127.0.0.1:161 by default which conflicts with the former specification of 127.0.0.1 in /etc/default/snmpd, so now snmpd must be reconfigured here in order to be exposed to the network. Be sure to check both files after an upgrade. -- Jochen Friedrich Mon, 07 Jun 2010 17:32:09 +0200 net-snmp (5.4.2.1~dfsg-4) unstable; urgency=low As of version 5.4.2.1~dfsg-4, this package no longer downloads the MIBs from IETF or IANA, but suggests the package snmp-mibs-downloader in contrib to do this job. Please consider installing this package if you need the SNMP MIBs. -- Jochen Friedrich Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:29:14 +0100 net-snmp (5.4.2.1~dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low As of version 5.4.2.1, the MIBs from IETF (the ones distributed as RFC) and from IANA are no longer distributed with this package due to license reasons. By default, snmpd is now started without any MIBs loaded, so you can't use symbolic names in the configuration anymore. Neither are the snmp clients able to resolved numeric OIDs to symbolic names. This default can be changed by editing the /etc/defaults/snmpd file and comment out the MIB environment variable. In order to download the MIBs, you can either do this during package installation or later using the commands cd /usr/share/mibs make -f Makefile.mib Note you need to be able to connect to ftp://ftp.ietf.org for downloading the RFCs and http://www.iana.org for downloading the IANA definitions. -- Jochen Friedrich Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:42:36 +0100 net-snmp (5.2.2-1) unstable; urgency=low As of version 5.2.2, the default configuration disables SMUX support and binds the SNMP port to 127.0.0.1. Please configure /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny first to set up who can access the SNMP daemon, then edit /etc/default/snmpd and remove 127.0.0.1 from SNMPDOPTS. To enable SMUX again, remove "-I -smux" from SNMPDOPTS and eventually bind it to localhost by adding "smuxsocket 127.0.0.1" to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. -- Jochen Friedrich Fri, 20 Jan 2006 15:11:07 +0100
