ipdevpoll daemon 3.9.1

[i***@public.gmane.org]

Hi all,

I'm sorry for spam, but i would like to make sure that it's a real bug
not just my mistake/misunderstanding before filling in the bug into
lauchpad.

I upgraded NAV to 3.9.1 this monday (deb 5.0) from rep. and I noticed
that ipdevpoll job is not running as it supposed to.

If I understand it right, then ipdevpolld should be daemon process
running all the time, however in 3.9.1 it's not:



./ipdevpoll status
ipdevpolld does not seem to be running...

If I restart NAV ,then ipdevpoll runs just once ....

Thanks,
milo

Hi Milo,

Yes, ipdevpolld should run all the time. Is this still a problem?

We anyway need more information in order to understand your problem
here. Output of the ipdevpolld log file is helpful.

Hi, being back from my paternal leave, I just want to comment: Yes, this
scenario is observed by me too.

NAV 3.9 added support for pynetsnmp as ipdevpoll's primary SNMP library.
This is a binding to the C-library NET-SNMP, but apparently there was
some bug in the version of the binding that shipped with Debian Lenny,
which caused ipdevpoll to quickly crash with a segmentation fault.

The simplest solution for people running NAV 3.9 on Debian Lenny is to
uninstall pynetsnmp and let ipdevpoll fall back to using the pure Python
PySNMP library.
