-INTRODUCTION
-
- This package was originally based on the CMU 2.1.2.1 snmp code. It
- has been greatly modified, restructured, enhanced and fixed. It
- hardly looks the same as anything that CMU has ever released. It
- was renamed from cmu-snmp to ucd-snmp in 1995 and later renamed from
- ucd-snmp to net-snmp in November 2000.
-
-SUPPORTED ARCHITECTURES

- Please see the FAQ for this information.
-
- Please let us know if you compile it on other OS versions and it
- works for you so we can add them to the above list.

-
-HELPING OUT
-
- This is a project worked on by people around the net. We'd love
- your help, but please read the PORTING file first. Also, subscribe
- to the net-snmp-coders list described below and mention what you're
- going to work on to make sure no one else is already doing so!
- You'll also need to keep up to date with the latest code snap shot,
- which can be obtained from CVS using the information found at
- http://www.net-snmp.org/cvs/.
-
- Contributions to the Net-SNMP source code in any form are greatly
- appreciated. We expect the parties providing such contributions to
- have the right to contribute them to the Net-SNMP project or that
- the parties that do have the right have directed the person
- submitting the contribution to do so. In addition, all contributors
- need to be aware that if the contribution is accepted and
- incorporated into the Net-SNMP project, it will be redistributed
- under the terms of the license agreement used for the entire body of
- work that comprises the Net-SNMP project (see the COPYING file for
- details). If this license agreement ever changes the contribution
- will continue to be released under any new licenses as well. Thank
- you, in advance, for your gracious contributions.
-
-CODE UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENTS
-
- See the NEWS file and the ChangeLog file for details on what has
- changed between releases.
-
- We hate broadcasting announce messages to other mailing lists and
- newsgroups, so there is a mailing list set up to handle release
- announcements. Any time we put new software out for ftp, we'll mail
- this fact to net-snmp-announce@lists.sourceforge.net. See the
- MAILING LISTS section described below to sign up for these
- announcements.
-
- We will post new announcements on a very infrequent basis to the
- other channels (the other snmp mailing lists and newsgroups like
- comp.protocols.snmp), but only for major code revisions and not for
- bug-fix patches or small feature upgrades.
-
-MAILING LISTS
-
- The lists:
-
- The following mailing lists have been created for your use:
-
- net-snmp-announce@lists.sourceforge.net -- For announcements
- net-snmp-users@lists.sourceforge.net -- For usage discussions
- net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net -- For development discussions
- net-snmp-cvs@lists.sourceforge.net -- For cvs update announcements
-
- To subscribe to these lists, please see:
-
- http://www.net-snmp.org/lists/
-
- The lists you definitely want to subscribe to is the
- net-snmp-announce@lists.sourceforge.net list and the
- net-snmp-users@lists.sourceforge.net list.
-
- Please do *NOT* send messages to both -users and -coders lists.
- This is completely unnecessary, and simply serves to further
- overload (and annoy) the core development team. Thank you.

-
-AGENT EXTENSIBILITY
-
- The agent that comes with this package is extensible through use of
- shell scripts and other methods. See the configuration manual pages
- (like snmpd.conf) and run the snmpconf perl script for further details.
-
- You can also extend the agent by writing C code directly. The agent
- is extremely modular in nature and you need only create new files,
- re-run configure and re-compile (or link against its libraries). No
- modification of the distributed source files are necessary. See the
- following files for details on how to go about this:
- http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial-5/toolkit/,
- agent/mibgroup/examples/*.c
-
- Also, see the local/mib2c program and its README file for help in
- turning a textual mib description into a C code template.
-
- We now support AgentX for subagent extensibility. The net-snmp
- agent can run as both a master agent and a subagent. Additionally,
- a toolkit is provided that enables users of it to easily embed a
- agentx client into external applications. See the tutorial at
- http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial-5/toolkit/ for an example of how
- go about doing this.
-
-CONFIGURATION
-
- See the man/snmp.conf.5 manual page.
-
- For the agent, additionally see the man/snmpd.conf.5 manual page.
-
- For the snmptrapd, see the man/snmptrapd.conf.5 manual page.
-
- You can also run the snmpconf perl script to help you create some of
- these files.
-
-SUBMITTING BUG REPORTS
-
- Important: *Please* include what version of the net-snmp (or
- ucd-snmp) package you are using and what architecture(s) you're
- using, as well as detailed information about exactly what is wrong.
-
- To submit a bug report, please use the web interface at
- http://www.net-snmp.org/bugs/. It is a full-fledged
- bug-tracking system that will allow you to search for already
- existing bug reports as well as track the status of your report as
- it is processed by the core developers.
-
- If you intend to submit a patch as well, please read the PORTING
- file before you do so and then submit it to
- http://www.net-snmp.org/patches/.
-
-CLOSING
-
- We love patches. Send some to us! But before you do, please see
- the 'PORTING' file for information on helping us out with the
- process of integrating your patches (regardless of whether its a new
- feature implementation or a new port).
-
- Also, We're interested if anyone actually uses/likes/hates/whatever
- this package... Mail us a note and let us know what you think of it!
-
- Have fun and may it make your life easier,
-
- The net-snmp developers
