net-snmp (5.4.3~dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low
As of version 5.4.3, upstream ships a new default configuration in
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, which only uses SNMPv3 rather than SNMPv1 and
SNMPv2c. This new default configuration also binds to udp:127.0.0.1:161
by default which conflicts with the former specification of 127.0.0.1
in /etc/default/snmpd, so now snmpd must be reconfigured here in order
to be exposed to the network. Be sure to check both files after an
upgrade.

net-snmp (5.4.2.1~dfsg-4) unstable; urgency=low
As of version 5.4.2.1~dfsg-4, this package no longer downloads the MIBs
from IETF or IANA, but suggests the package snmp-mibs-downloader in
contrib to do this job. Please consider installing this package if you
need the SNMP MIBs.

net-snmp (5.4.2.1~dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low
As of version 5.4.2.1, the MIBs from IETF (the ones distributed as
RFC) and from IANA are no longer distributed with this package due to
license reasons.
By default, snmpd is now started without any MIBs loaded, so you can't
use symbolic names in the configuration anymore. Neither are the snmp
clients able to resolved numeric OIDs to symbolic names. This default
can be changed by editing the /etc/defaults/snmpd file and comment out
the MIB environment variable.
In order to download the MIBs, you can either do this during package
installation or later using the commands
cd /usr/share/mibs
make -f Makefile.mib
Note you need to be able to connect to
ftp://ftp.ietf.org for downloading the RFCs and
http://www.iana.org for downloading the IANA definitions.

net-snmp (5.2.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
As of version 5.2.2, the default configuration disables SMUX support
and binds the SNMP port to 127.0.0.1.
Please configure /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
first to set up who can access the SNMP daemon, then edit
/etc/default/snmpd and remove 127.0.0.1 from SNMPDOPTS.
To enable SMUX again, remove "-I -smux" from SNMPDOPTS and eventually
bind it to localhost by adding "smuxsocket 127.0.0.1" to
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.
