Hello,

sorry if this sounds a bit trivial to a few. I've been reading on how to
get HOST-RESOURCES-MIB to work on win32 and came upon the info in
README.win32 for winExtDLL:

"When using the winExtDLL extension agent, the Net-SNMP agent will load
the Windows SNMP Service extension DLLs"

My question is how to actually enable/use winExtDLL (*). I downloaded
and installed the precompiled win32 binary Net-SNMP v5.4.1 from
sourceforge. I also installed and disabled Windows SNMP Service. Still
snmpd doesn't seem to load the Windows SNMP Service DLLs. Do I need to
reconfigure something in Net-SNMP (a registry key perhaps or a conf
file) or do I need to compile from source and create my own binaries
with the options mentioned in 'Compiling Net-SNMP with the winExtDLL
extension (MSVC)' in README.win32 ? If I'm required to do the later,
would you suggest I used the v5.4.1 source code or download a nightly
tarball?

Thank you,
Spyros


(*) quote from README.win32:

Enabling the Windows SNMP extension agents
------------------------------------------

The recommended way to start snmpd is with the following command line:

snmpd.exe
-I-udp,udpTable,tcp,tcpTable,icmp,ip,interfaces,syste m_mib,sysORTable

The above command will exclude all the Net-SNMP extensions that overlap
with
the default Windows (2003) extensions included with Windows. Other
Net-SNMP
modules take precedence over the modules loaded by winExtDLL.

The Windows DLL snmpmib.dll (SNMPMIB) contains SNMP traffic statistics
(.1.3.6.1.2.1.11). As we are using Net-SNMP and not the Windows SNMP
Service,
no values will be returned from the Windows extension. To allow SNMP
statistics to be received, the Net-SNMP module snmp_mib is permitted to
load
by not excluding it in the above command line. As stated above, this
module
will take precedence over the Windows module.


Registry Information
--------------------

Warning: Improper use of the registry editor can damage to your operating
system and should only be used by experienced users.

The following registry keys are used by the Windows SNMP Service to
determine
what extension DLLs to load:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parame ters\ExtensionAgents

Each REG_SZ value contains the registry path to an extension agent which
contains the path to the DLL. For example:

Name Type Value
1 REG_SZ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\LANManagerMIB2Agent\CurrentVers ion

To prevent winExtDLL from loading the above extension, change the registry
path to an invalid path such as:

Name Type Value
1 REG_SZ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\LANManagerMIB2Agent\CurrentVers ion!!!
