+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.
+
+ Porting: Please! read the PORTING file.

+
+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.

+ The archives for these mailing lists can be found by following links at

+
+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
