Thanks for your help,

we're running several HP Thinclients (T5125, T5135) that seem to be
based on LFS [www.linuxfromscratch.org] and want to add snmp support. As
with many embedded devices they're using squash-fs as root filesystem.
So the only way to change the Linux-System is to get hold on the build
environment, they used to build the install-images. The docs mention the
build-environment and that you can get it to customize your images, but
the HP-Support knows nothing about it.

That's why we can't drop the snmp binaries and libraries at the usual
location, but need to place them somewhere else witihn the fs - hence I
thought running it within a chroot environment would solve the problem.

Another way might be to compile a customized version of the snmpd that
uses other locations within the fs. But I didn't check that out yet.

If I'm choosing that way, I'll publish my notes to the net-snmp wiki.

Thanks,
