November 30, 2006: | Apparently some people are having issues getting mib2c to run on Linux machines. When building at home, they are unable to get the SNMP perl module to be recognized, causing mib2c to fail. On the GAUL Linux boxes, apparently only I can run mib2c, despite having opened up permissions to everyone else. The same configuration for Solaris works perfectly, however, so there's some fundamental weirdness going on under Linux. Sigh. So the recommendation right now is to at least use mib2c under Solaris, since we know that is working. In theory, you should be able to take the generated code and use it under Linux, whether you're doing so at home or on GAUL. (The generated code should be very similar to what was used in the tutorial, since that was produced by mib2c as well ...) Hopefully this will get around the problem! Sorry about that! |

November 28, 2006: | Just to clear up some potential confusion over Assignment 4, it was intended that you would have to hand edit the code generated by mib2c for your assignment. mib2c will generate a fair bit of code from your MIB file, but you will still need to hand edit the results to ensure that the agent knows where to get values for MIB variables and so on. (For example, all the shared memory stuff ...) It really isn't possible to construct a MIB or do something else to allow mib2c to do everything for you ... you'll still need to edit its generated code. |

November 24, 2006: | As discussed in class today, given the choice between guest speakers next week and no class next week to give people time to work on assignments and such, the unamious choice was to go with no class next week. Consequently there is no class on Wednesday, November 29th and Friday, December 1st. There will be class on Wednesday, December 6th as a review to help get ready for the final exam, however. |
