Bug Description
To reproduce the problem you have to be running dapper amd64 version with snmpd installed. Then you configure the snmpd.conf with a passthrough control which runs an perl script (in my case):
pass_persist .1.3.6.
The script in question can be downloaded from http://
The script works from the commandline and with my recompiled net-snmp-
The error that is reported when you do and snmpwalk is:
NETTRACK-
Timeout: No Response from bifrost
and in the syslog.conf on the snmpd server:
send response: Error building ASN.1 representation (build int size 4: s/b 8)
Perhaps this is yet another 64bit vs 32bit problem...
Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 beta?
