FW: [netsaint] check_snmp errors with solaris 8/sparc - No data recieved from host

[Jackson Sie]

This issue has been discussed before.

The basic problem is that the check_snmp plugin clears out it's system
environment variables before calling exec()'ing snmpget.  Unfortunately,
if your snmp package is installed in the /usr/local directory tree, the
the required libraries are in /usr/local/lib.  By default in Solaris,
this directory is included in the runtime library path.

There are two ways to resolve this.  You can either copy or symlink the
requisite .so files from /usr/local/lib into /usr/lib, or you can use
crle as a system administrator to add /usr/local/lib into the default
runtime path.

Good luck,

Could you run the command under truss and post the sections where snmp 
error happens...
