Package: net-snmp-5.3.0.1nb2 Extensible SNMP implementation from pkgsrc-2006Q1, 
but
also tried net-snmp-5.3.1 from external source distribution.  Last
known working version: net-snmp-5.2.1.2nb1 (with NetBSD 3.0_STABLE).

>Description:

If snmpd is configured to watch a process and use a procfix command, when
that process dies, and snmp attempts a restart, snmpd loops forever over
a select call (e.g. blocking on that loop so it doesn't respond to other
clients). From the snmpd full debugging log:

>How-To-Repeat:

1) configure snmpd.conf with a proc and procfix line like so:
proc x10
procfix x10 /etc/rc.d/x10s start

2) start snmpd, start script (x10s).

3) Kill off watched proc (x10).

4) Run script that checks for listed processes and attempts to set
prErrFix to 1 for a given instance of prIndex (see attached).
Setting prErrFix to 1 asks snmpd to attempt a restart via procfix
directive.

Results:
a) snmpd will be looping and unresponsive.
b) sometimes multiple procs get started.


>Fix:

Unknown.

Attached script for tracking and restarting procs via snmpd:

#!/usr/pkg/bin/perl
#
# Monitor processes via SNMP
# (based on process.monitor by Brian Moore)
#
# Modified Oct 2001 by Dan Urist <durist%world.std.com@localhost>
# Changes: added usage, SNMP v.3 support, -P processes option
# unique-ified errors
#
# Modified Feb 2002 by Dan Urist <durist%world.std.com@localhost>
# Changes: added -C config file option; cleaned up code
#
# This script will exit with value 1 if any prErrorFlag is greater
# than 0.  The summary output line will be the host names and
# processes that failed in the format host1:proc1,proc2;host2:proc3...
# The detail lines are what UCD snmp returns for a prErrMessage.  If
# there is an SNMP error (either a problem with the SNMP libraries, or
# a problem communicating via SNMP with the destination host), this
# script will exit with a warning value of 2. If the -P process list
# option is used, only the listed processes will be monitored. If a
# process given with -P is not being monitored, the script will exit
# with a warning and a value of 2.
