Hi,
I've installed Solaris 11.3(live media) and configured DNS. Everytime I reboot the server, resolv.conf got deleted and it created a new nsswitch.conf.
I used below to configure both settings:

Hi,
Lets say I have a script which reads a conf file (say MASTERFILE) line by line to fetch file_name, source_path, dest_path. But currently, here the file name are static for eg: ABC.txt or XYZ.txt. So i have hard-coded in the conf file.
So what happens that the script picks up the file_name... (1 Reply)

SNMP.CONF(5) Net-SNMP SNMP.CONF(5)
NAME
snmp_config - describes how to configure the Net-SNMP applications.
DESCRIPTION
The Net-SNMP package uses various configuration files to configure its applications. This manual page merely describes the overall nature
of them, so that the other manual pages don't have to.
DIRECTORIES SEARCHED
First off, there are numerous places that configuration files can be found and read from. By default, the applications look for configura-
tion files in the following 3 directories, in order: /usr/share/snmp, /usr/lib/snmp, and $HOME/.snmp. In each of these directories, it
looks for files with the extension of both .conf and 6 default places a configuration file can exist for any given configuration file type.
Additionally, the above default search path can be overridden by setting the environment variable SNMPCONFPATH to a colon-separated list of
directories to search for.
Finally, applications that store persistent data will also look in the /var/snmp directory for configuration files there.
CONFIGURATION FILE TYPES
Each application may use multiple configuration files, which will configure various different aspects of the application. For instance,
the SNMP agent (snmpd) knows how to understand configuration directives in both the snmpd.conf and the snmp.conf files. In fact, most
applications understand how to read the contents of the snmp.conf files. Note, however, that configuration directives understood in one
file may not be understood in another file. For further information, read the associated manual page with each configuration file type.
Also, most of the applications support a -H switch on the command line that will list the configuration files it will look for and the
directives in each one that it understands.
The snmp.conf configuration file is intended to be a application suite wide configuration file that supports directives that are useful for
controlling the fundamental nature of all of the SNMP applications, such as how they all manipulate and parse the textual SNMP MIB files.
SWITCHING CONFIGURATION TYPES IN MID-FILE
It's possible to switch in mid-file the configuration type that the parser is supposed to be reading. Since that sentence doesn't make
much sense, lets give you an example: say that you wanted to turn on packet dumping output for the agent by default, but you didn't want to
do that for the rest of the applications (ie, snmpget, snmpwalk, ...). Normally to enable packet dumping in the configuration file you'd
need to put a line like:
dumpPacket true
into the snmp.conf file. But, this would turn it on for all of the applications. So, instead, you can put the same line in the snmpd.conf
file so that it only applies to the snmpd daemon. However, you need to tell the parser to expect this line. You do this by putting a spe-
cial type specification token inside a [] set. In other words, inside your snmpd.conf file you could put the above snmp.conf directive by
adding a line like so:
[snmp] dumpPacket true
This tells the parser to parse the above line as if it were inside a snmp.conf file instead of an snmpd.conf file. If you want to parse a
bunch of lines rather than just one then you can make the context switch apply to the remainder of the file or until the next context
switch directive by putting the special token on a line by itself:
# make this file handle snmp.conf tokens:
[snmp]
dumpPacket true
logTimestamp true
# return to our original snmpd.conf tokens:
[snmpd]
rocommunity mypublic
COMMENTS
Any lines beginning with the character '#' in the configuration files are treated as a comment and are not parsed.
API INTERFACE
Information about writing C code that makes use of this system in either the agent's MIB modules or in applications can be found in the
read_config(3) manual page.
