I just installed the Linux MSM package from LSI... I had to add these packages to a minimal 6.2 install for what its worth... * yum install libstdc++.i686 compat-libstdc++-33.i686 libX11 libX11.i686 libXi libXi.i686 libXtst libXtst.i686 xauth net-snmp net-snmp-utils csh The X stuff was required by the GUI manager, I suspect if you did a agent-only install, that wouldn't be needed. I'm a total novice when it comes to snmp. but i'm reading some howto's and stumbling around. -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast
