Since my previous message to the mailing list I think I've found a bug in
the scotty-00-02-21 snapshot that causes agents to only respond to queries
through the loopback interface. I think that when an agent is created, the
TnmSnmpCreateSession function sets the address to INADDR_LOOPBACK, when it
should actually set it to INADDR_ANY for responders and listeners. The
consequence of this is that the socket gets bound to the localhost
interface in TnmSnmpAgentOpen/TnmSnmpAgentOpen/TnmSocketBind
I have fixed this by changing the line to :
if (type == TNM_SNMP_GENERATOR || type == TNM_SNMP_NOTIFIER) {
session->maddr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK);
} else {
session->maddr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
}
Now when I look at the output of 'netstat -l' I see something like :
udp 0 0 *:8001 *:*
instead of
udp 0 0 localhost.localdom:8001 *:*
However, when I try and do a get against this, I get noResponse, and
netstat shows that there is data waiting to be read from the channel. The
file handler gets created okay (as far as I can tell) but it never
actually fires.
Am I still doing something completely wrong? Is this a known bug? Is there
a more recent snapshot that I should be working with?
Thanks again for any help anyone can give me
