Not QUITE sure why, as gdb > attaching to the process seems to make the error go away, though it there are a few bugs like that, actually...the above "No version" error with the clients is "fixed" by putting a printf() at line 1009 in snmplib/snmp_api.c (wasn't in my patch, since it was a kludge until I had a little more time to look at it...ie. tonight) > If this WAS brought in ``officially'' I'd probably like to see some > kernel changes made to better accomodate SNMP queries.

I still have alot to learn about snmp, but I don't want to waste time trying to fix one snmpd package to work with FreeBSD if we're going to end up ditching it for something else :( <bunch of suggested kernel modifications removed> Marc G.
