Some notes for the HP-UX 11.0/11i port
======================================
1. Additional libraries needed for linking
------------------------------------------
Due to the changes I've made to the net-snmp sources it is necessary to link
the snmp daemon with the libnm library. For doing so you have to pass the
following option to configure:
--with-libs=-lnm
You might check in agent/Makefile that the library -lnm has been added to
the LIBS macro (it should stand at the end of this macro).
2. Starting the net-snmp daemon via rc script
---------------------------------------------
When starting the net-snmp daemon via rc script you have to trap some signals
because otherwise the daemon will die the moment the rc script ends. I trap
the signals 1, 2 and 3 via "trap '' 1 2 3" immediately before starting the
daemon. I didn't check whether all these signals need to be trapped, probably
SIGHUP will suffice. BTW this applies to the HP-UX 10.x version as well. It
would be a good idea to ignore or handle these signals in the daemon...
