Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone has written any snmp-tools for
'normal' BSD machines. All tools seem to be written for SUNs and the
like. I'm working with a 'normal' 4.3BSD system and there seems to be
nothing available for this.
I know I can write my own tools but I was wondering if someone already
did it so I don't have to re-invent the wheel but make some adaptions
to make it roll better.
BTW I like MIT-snmp better than CMU-snmp. (MIT runs with no problems,
CMU doesn't).
Any help whatsoever is welcome,
Thanks,

Why don't you drop a note to the SNMP list and ask the same question. The address is: snmp@nisc.nyser.net In addition to the two commonly used public domain versions of SNMP (the MIT and the CMU releases), the next release of the ISODE will have an openly available implementation of a 4BSD SNMP agent. You will still need to get NOC software, either from MIT, CMU, or one of the zillions of companies selling SNMP-based NOCs these days. My opinion is that whilst it is probably OK to get openly available software to run agent code on commonly used platforms, I bet you will find it necessary to go to a real vendor to get comprehensive NOC tools... In retrospect, I find it difficult to believe that either the MIT or CMU agent code, if they run on a Sun, would have problems with generic 4BSD kernels. Please direct all replies to the snmp list... /mtr [the usual conflict of interest disclosure: I chair the working group responsible for the SNMP and the core MIB; I work for a company that sells an SNMP implementation; I wrote the 4BSD/ISODE SNMP agent; etc., etc.]
