bsnmpd(1) should use specified prefix for tcpwrappers/hosts.allow Authored by eugen_grosbein.net on Sep 16 2023, 10:11 AM. Tags None Referenced Files

Details
bsnmpd(1) has "-l prefix" command line option as the default basename for the pid and the configuration file that simplifies running different instances of the daemon. However, it does not respect this prefix for tcpwappers-based access control but uses hardcoded "snmpd" string. Proposed one-line change fixes the problem to allow distinct sets of access control lists for distinct daemon instances. Try running second bsnmpd instance with "-l anothername" command line option while /etc/hosts.allow has restrictions for "snmpd".

Event TimelineComment Actions Funny thing, since 2023 I run a server with two copies of bsnmpd using different configuration files (one for SNMP v2c, another for SNMP v3) and different prefixes and different ACL by means of /etc/hosts.allow. I found this problem when I set it up back those days and came with same patch to make it work. I don't remember if I ever reported that. Most probably not. |
