A long time has passed since Randy posted his request for implementation reports. I am sorry for being so late to followup on this. /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder International University Bremen <http://www.eecs.iu-bremen.de/> P.O. Box 750 561, 28725 Bremen, Germany

Implementation Survey for RFC 3165, Definitions of Managed Objects for the Delegation of Management Scripts Module: DISMAN-SCRIPT-MIB Implementation Source: TU Braunschweig, Germany NEC Research Heidelberg, Germany Management Application / Agent: NET-SNMP agent GROUPs: smLanguageGroup (y/n): y smScriptGroup2 (y/n): y smLaunchGroup2 (y/n): y smRunGroup2 (y/n): y smNotificationsGroup2 (y,n): n smCodeGroup (y,n): n OBJECTs: smScriptSource (ro/rw): rw smCodeText (ro/rw): __ smLaunchArgument maximum size: SNMP_MAX_LEN smRunArgument maximum size: SNMP_MAX_LEN smRunResult maximum size: SNMP_MAX_LEN smRunState suspension permitted? (y,n): y (depends on the runtime system) Deployement / Operational Experience: SNMP_MAX_LEN defaults to 1500 in NET-SNMP 5.1.1. The source code has been downloaded a number of times. It is unclear what people really did with it in production networks. The software package includes a manager-side graphical user interface written in Java called smurf. In addition, some commands have been added to the scli SNMP command line interface in order to interact with the agent. The agent has been used in a research project to distribute, start, control and terminate policy scripts. Comments: The SNMP engine used for this application does not provide an easy way to record the credentials during the processing of a set request. Hence, the implementation cheats to some extend by guessing credentials, which of course is not a good thing to do. It is unclear whether newer versions of NET-SNMP would allow to handle this correctly.

Implementation Survey for RFC 3231, Definitions of Managed Objects for Scheduling Management Operations Module: DISMAN-SCHEDULE-MIB Implementation Source: TU Braunschweig, Germany Management Application / Agent: NET-SNMP agent GROUPs schedGroup2 (y/n): y schedNotificationsGroup (y/n): n schedCalendarGroup (y,n): y Deployment / Operational Experience: Some commands have been implemented as part of the scli SNMP command line interface to interact with the agent. Interoperability tests with other implementations have not been performed.
