[Netdisco] I think this is a linking issue, but I could be wrong...

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

Trying this again...

Can someone explain this behavior to me? The following are not
complete listing, of course.

     tiger/usr/local/share 13:41 2010-12-27 root 0# ll
/usr/local/etc/netdisco/mibs/dell
     total 968
     -rw-rw----  1 netdisco  netdisco     987 Mar 27  2009 .index
     -rw-rw----  1 netdisco  netdisco  199136 Mar 27  2009 apollo.mib
     -rw-rw----  1 netdisco  netdisco   15697 Mar 27  2009 dell_ita.mib
     -rw-rw----  1 netdisco  netdisco    7179 Mar 27  2009 env_mib.mib


     tiger/usr/local/share 13:41 2010-12-27 root 0# ll
/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs | grep dell
     lrwxr-xr-x  1 root      wheel         44 Mar 27  2009 apollo.mib
-> /usr/local/etc/netdisco/mibs/dell/apollo.mib
     lrwxr-xr-x  1 root      wheel         46 Mar 27  2009
dell_ita.mib -> /usr/local/etc/netdisco/mibs/dell/dell_ita.mib
     lrwxr-xr-x  1 root      wheel         45 Mar 27  2009 env_mib.mib
-> /usr/local/etc/netdisco/mibs/dell/env_mib.mib

I'm running netdisco 1.0 from ports on FreeBSD 7.1R, and netdisco
keeps sending me emails with errors when it tries to access various
MIBs - for example:

     /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/dell_ita.mib: Permission denied

The last line of each email is also interesting:

     Cannot find module (MAU-MIB): At line 1 in (none)

Oddly, only some of the MIBs are in the email. For instance, out of
all of the Dell MIBs, only dell_ita.mib is included in the email with
an error.

My infrastructure is HP switches only, with Cisco WAPs - no Dell
anywhere except for my servers.

I've also tried:

     chown -R netdisco:netdisco /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs

and that gives no error but does nothing - the listing looks the same
as before, with root:wheel ownership, even though

     /usr/local/share/snmp

shows netdisco:netdisco for ownership.

Any thoughts appreciated.
