(But my snmpd still >dies at the same spot.. seems it was unrelated.. ohwell!) This just disables the messages, but doesn't fix the problem. I guess that snmpd is suffering indeed at the same spot because it walks the list of network devices as ifconfig does. On my machine, this fails only for ppp0, but I really cannot understand why a struct can be unaligned in the middle of it. All necessary padding/whatever should have been automagically done by the compiler. -- Wonderful \hbox (0.80312pt too nice) in paragraph at lines 16--18 Volker Stolz * stolz@i2.informatik.rwth-aachen.de Please use PGP or S/MIME for correspondence!
