*** Security Fix ***
Changes 5.3:
*** Important Notes ***
Several very significant changes have been made in Net-SNMP for this
release that warrant special attention.
- shared library version number no longer matches the release number. We
now follow the versioning scheme recommended by libtool. For the 5.3
release this means that the libraries now have a SONAME ending with
".so.10", e.g. libnetsnmp.so.10.
- snmpd has not been truncating log files at startup, as documented in
the man pages, for a while now. This default behaviour has been restored.
Please use the '-A' flag if you want to continue appending to your log
files at startup.
- snmptrapd will no longer accept all traps by default. It must be
configured with authorized SNMPv1/v2c community strings and/or SNMPv3
users. Non-authorized traps/informs will be dropped.
- Due to a copyright statement that didn't allow modifications,
snmpnetstat has been completely rewritten. The new version now
accepts the same command-line options as the other tools, which
has introduced a number of incompatible changes. However, it
does now finally support SNMPv3.
Fixes:
Building:
- configure --disable-snmpv2c now works
- fix make test tests for rfc1213
- bug 1049607: net-snmp-config --compile-subagent broken
library:
- bug 1084413: Can't disable file logging
- bug 1072406: invalid operator precedence in opendir()
agent library:
- disconnected AgentX subagents now reconnect with correct context
- fix table_array row insert/delete during set processing
agent:
- don't override clientAddr setting for local trapsinks
- bug 1088765: Agent fails to send traps to remote target
- bug 1034008: memory leak using SET for table_dataset
- patch 1052460: fix agent deadlock on exec
- bug 1055781: get-next fails to step into interfaces group correctly
- bug 1056760: agent ignores ifspeed, type settings in snmpd.conf
- bug 1062986: pass and pass_persist fail and crash snmpd
- fix snmpd.conf table token to handle augments tables
snmptrapd:
- bug 1085981: snmptrapd complains about logging and access control
- bug 1040711: snmptrapd: SIGHUP duplicates traphandlers (repeatedly)
MFD:
- Misc updates to MFD templates
- add auto-handling of cache update for row insert/delete
Ports:
- Win32
- fixes for compiling without the Microsoft PSDK installed
- fix Win32 getenv crash
- Mac OS X compile error fix
- HP-UX configure now detects and won't use unavailable function
- Linux
- patch 1055036: if-mib init order fix
- patch 1057057: ipSystemStatsTable index fix, add ipv6
- patch 1073897: fix if-mib data access 64bit counter wrap detection
MIBs:
- update IP-FORWARD-MIB from an ID set to become an RFC
under share/examples/rc.d. The variable name already was named
RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR.
This is from ideas from Greg Woods and others.
Also bumped PKGREVISION for all packages using RCD_SCRIPTS mechanism
(as requested by wiz).
as well enable the build and installation of the Perl modules.
An added benefit is that the sister package net/p5-SNMP won't
be lagging anymore as it will be removed.
While here add support for test target.
Bump PKGREVISION.
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
New:
- test suite supports testing over other transports (tcp, udp6, unix, ...)
(see the -P switch to the testing/RUNTESTS script)
- Solaris supports the use of it's PKCS#11 library for supporting
cryptographic functions (OpenSSL isn't required if PKCS#11 is available)
(see configure's --with-pkcs flag)
Fixes:
- Improvements on 64 bit architectures.
- A few minor memory leaks fixed.
- An extremely large number of minor bug fixes.
- Many perl module specific bug fixes.
- snmpd will safely handle more signals.
Ports:
- Many many significant Windows improvements.
- A win32 build script in win32/build.pl
- Support for the MinGW compiler
- (see the README.win32 file for details on new ports)
- Various helpful win32/*.bat files for installation, etc.
- Some linux 2.6 support improvements
o Remove NET_SNMP_LOGFILE since it's not used anymore
o Include /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs into the default MIBS file search path
o Use --with-logfile=none instead of --without-logfile because that is what
the configure script wants for that variable.
While those changes affect an exported header file, they don't affect in
any way the compilation of dependencies, so no revision bump is needed.
Changes from NEWS file:

*5.0.9*
SECURITY:
- An existing user/community could get access to data in MIB
objects that were explicitly excluded from their view.
Fixes:
- Perl build environment should better under Windows
- Misc kerberos support fixes.
- Improvements on various manual pages.
- A annoying bug with SETs being passed to pass scripts was fixed.
- The often talked about VACM optimization improvement was fixed again.
- mib2c handles augmentation tables better now.
- Various 64 bit issues have been addressed.
*5.0.8*
New:
- No new features will be added to the 5.0.x line.
Ports:
- Update libtool to version 1.4.3, for the benefit of Darwin
- diskio support for Darwin
- Updates for OpenBSD 3.
- Updates to solaris README
Fixes:

USE_PKGINSTALL is "YES". bsd.pkg.install.mk will no longer automatically
pick up a INSTALL/DEINSTALL script in the package directory and assume that
you want it for the corresponding *_EXTRA_TMPL variable.
have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
on net/net-snmp-current and on the FreeBSD net-snmp port, and may be
considered as an update to ucd-snmp. Changes since ucd-snmp include:
* complete rewrite of the agent internals
* new agent module API
* SNMPv3
* improved AgentX subagent handling
* many, many bugfixes in plugged memory leaks
* prevent DoS attacks from authenticated users
