From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Grant Edwards Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2020 15:52:34 -0000 (UTC) Subject: [Buildroot] Slow SNMP daemon startup Message-ID: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net After upgrading from an older version of net-snmp (5.7.3 -> 5.8) it now takes the snmp daemon anywhere from 5s to a minute to start up. It used to start with no noticeable delay. Has anybody else noticed this? Does anybody have any guesses on where to start looking for the problem? There's nothing in the syslog to indicate any problem: # grep snmp /var/log/messages Jan 1 00:00:08 (none) daemon.info snmpd[944]: Created directory: /var/lib/snmp Jan 1 00:00:08 (none) daemon.info snmpd[944]: Created directory: /var/lib/snmp/cert_indexes Dec 15 15:17:26 (none) daemon.info snmpd[944]: Created directory: /var/lib/snmp/mib_indexes Dec 15 15:17:26 (none) daemon.info snmpd[946]: NET-SNMP version 5.8 Though it looks like the ntp daemon has stepped the time while snmpd is starting up, so perhaps that's causing a problem... -- Grant
