I see this bug inside a vserver guest as well. It does not ever occur in the host server. It also appears that /proc/stat is the same in the host and the guest.
I concur with others who would like some configurable option to disable it or change the frequency. Though, why it appears in a vserver and not in the host makes me wonder if it's fully a snmpd bug or if the vserver isn't reported the proper capabilities. I have not yet investigated what capabilities could be missing or added to workaround this bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-vserver-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages snmpd depends on: ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii debconf 1.5.24 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsnmp15 5.4.1~dfsg-12 SNMP (Simple Network Management Pr ii libwrap0 7.6.q-16 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra snmpd recommends no packages. snmpd suggests no packages. -- debconf information: snmpd/upgradefrom521: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
