Hi,
well I seem to have managed to get things working
1). download and install db3
2). ran rpm -rebuilddb
3). updated to rpm -4.02 - and it didn't complain!!!
4). just to make sure ran the rpm rebuilddb again
5). installed the latest net-tools
Seemed to go in, but I'm assuming I need a reboot to get it to work coz
I still get the same snmp error as before.
BTW the reason for all this is to see if I can get rid of packets
being dropped from the out-of-band rx queue due to buffer overrun.
Anyone know if you are still limited to 64Kbyte red and write tcp
buffers in the 2.4 kernel?
