RHEA-2003:210 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated ucd-snmp packages fix a memory reporting problem, add dynamic
lm_sensors support, and fix an IA64 agentx bug.

Description

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for network
management. The UCD-SNMP project includes various SNMP tools: an extensible
agent, an SNMP library, tools for requesting or setting information from
SNMP agents, tools for generating and handling SNMP traps, a version of the
netstat command which uses SNMP, and a Tk/Perl mib browser.

These updated ucd-snmp packages contained in this erratum fix a problem
introduced in 4.2.5 which broke memory reporting. They also add support for
dynamic lm_sensors reporting and fix a problem with agentx on IA64.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
