snmpd throwing a tremendous amount of errors
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG

Description

Problem seems to have started after migrating from 1.2 to 1.3-rolling.

Config is nothing special:

admin@edge# show service snmp
 community public {
     authorization ro
 }

This is actually an "upstream" bug, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/net-snmp/+bug/1384122 but it can be fixed via our own scripts.

As of VyOS 1.3-rolling-202001251111 we still get the following log entries
