See the skipNFSInHostResources + token in the snmpd.conf file for details. + - A "hardware abstraction layer", to localise the O/S-specific + aspects of retrieving system data. This first appeared in the + 5.3.x line, but this release now starts to actively use it for + implementing particular MIB modules. + This has resulted in some minor changes in behaviour - some index + values in the hrStorageTable have changed from earlier releases, + and the (non-raw) memory statistics are now consistent, reporting + percentage usage calculated over the last minute on _all_ systems. + - Agent builds default module list from a default_mibs.h rather than + a hard coded configure list + - [PATCH 1568150]: Extend pass_persist error messages that can be + passed back from the script + - [PATCH 1570982]: Solaris IF-MIB: Support for IPv6-only interfaces + + snmptrapd: + - the traphandle directive now supports a -t switch to indicate + matching any OID in the tree below the specified OID + + mib2c: + - New mib2c.emulation.conf provides a quick way to do simplistic + emulation of an entire MIB or MIB branch. + - A new perl module NetSNMP::agent::Support provides easier embedded + perl support.

Users are encouraged to immediately update + their installations if they use either of these tokens. + + +*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. + + New: + Building: + - new option to disable set support in the agent (--disable-set-support) + + snmpd: + - implement notification logging + - implement notification filtering + - AgentX, host resources and disman/event mibs added to default module list + - updated and new disman mib implementations + + snmptrapd: + - allow a non-default AgentX socket + - a brand new authorization scheme that is based on the VACM + authorization scheme from snmpd. + - Note: now drops unauthenticated notifications by default + - registers the snmpEngine MIB group under the "snmptrapd" context + + snmplib: + - new helper for ascii file based scalar integers (think Linux /proc/) + - new utilities for dealing with files + - new utilities for parsing text files + - granular config/persistent file disablement (noPersistentLoad and + noPersistentSave snmp.conf tokens) + + mib2c: + - mib2c.mfd.conf now generates code for persistence row storage + - many enhancements and bug fixes + + snmpusm: + - allows to use old and/or new localized key instead of passphrase with + option -Ck + - new option -CE to specify usmUserEngineID (necessary to manage + snmptrapd's usmUserTable) + + Ports: + Linux: + - new experimental tables + - tcpConnectionTable, tcpListenerTable + - ipAddressPrefixTable + - udpEndpointTable + - ipv4InterfaceTable, ipv6InterfaceTable + - inetCidrRouteTable supports dynamic ipv4 route creation/deletion + - added ipv6IpForwarding.0 and ipv6IpDefaultHopLimit.0 (read-write) + + Win32: + - Cygwin compiler fixes + - MSVC: agent (snmpd) support for pass and pass_persist + - MinGW: agent (snmpd) support for pass + - Fix for 'select: No such file or directory' in snmpdelta + + Fixes: + - Persistent files in directory defined by snmp.conf persistentDir were + not being loaded at startup + - Perl getnext didn't honor explicit reference to MIB file + - AgentX sub-agent connection delayed til after config files read + - Build fixes for --disable-agent, --disable-snmpv1 and --disable-snmpv2c + - Lots of bug fixes + + +*5.2* + New: + For the security paranoid (like Wes): + - Insecure versions of SNMP may be completely disabled at compile time. + (configure using one or both of --disable-snmpv1 --disable-snmpv2c) + - Less secure versions of SNMPv3 authentication and encryption + algorithms may be completely disabled at compile time. + (configure using one or both of --disable-des --disable-md5) + (This requires you have OpenSSL to support SHA1 and AES instead) + - Diffie-Helman key negotiation (perfect-forward-secrecy - RFC2786) + has been implemented in both the agent and "snmpusm". + - Better support for direct use of localized and master keys + (randomly generated keys have more entropy than passwords). See + the -3m -3M -3k and -3K options, and the defAuthLocalizedKey, + defPrivLocalizedKey, defAuthMasterKey, defPrivMasterKey + snmp.conf tokens) + + library: + - send and receive buffer sizes for UDP/TCP are configurable + - .conf file token registration can now search multiple files + (separate file names to search by a :.
