Re: [Netdisco] I cannot make cron jobs work

[Kurt B. <kur...@gm...>]

These are the permissions on the files:
# ll /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/
total 1636
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root      wheel         49 Mar 27  2009 A100-R1-MIB.my
-> /usr/local/etc/netdisco/mibs/cisco/A100-R1-MIB.my
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root      wheel         43 Mar 27  2009 AAC.mib ->
/usr/local/etc/netdisco/mibs/nortel/AAC.mib
...
...
...

The chmod would be redundant, in this case - sorry I didn't include
those perms in my original message.

I ran the chmod anyway, just because, then ran

$ /usr/local/bin/netdisco -b -m

and got

/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/ati-mib.mib: Permission denied
/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/atswtch2.mib: Permission denied
...
...
...

I also have set ownership two different ways:

# ll /usr/local/share
drwxr-xr-x    4 root      wheel      512 Dec  1 15:42 netdisco
drwxr-xr-x    5 netdisco  netdisco  1024 Dec 13 16:03 snmp

and:

# ll /usr/local/share
drwxr-xr-x    4 netdisco  netdisco   512 Dec  1 15:42 netdisco
drwxr-xr-x    5 netdisco  netdisco  1024 Dec 13 16:03 snmp

I'm certainly scratching my head on this one.

One question I have: Why is it not looking at $mibshome (mibshome  =
/usr/local/etc/netdisco) as declared in
/usr/local/etc/netdisco/netdisco.conf?
