[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#530291: snmpd: Broken execFix - No matching exec entry

[Miroslav Jezbera]

Package: snmpd
Version: 5.4.1~dfsg-12
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


I want to use snmp to remotely reboot machine. I have found advice to use
exec/execfix pair to do this.

Entry in snmpd.conf:
...
exec    reboot /usr/bin/uptime
execFix reboot /root/bin/reboot

And command:
snmpset -v 2c -c secret host UCD-SNMP-MIB::extErrFix.1 i 1


This does not work - snmpd writes this error message to log:
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 92: Error: No matching exec entry

Problem is in source - "Fix" suffix is added to name of execFix directive and
then it is searched for complementary exec entry. Attached is patch, that
removes this suffix, when it is no longer needed.
