[Nagiosplug-devel] check_snmp -- Modify source code, to allow SNMP protocol version 2c?

[Andrew Lillie]

I don't think that the individual plugins have their own make targets.  
But, you can just run "make" (and skip "make install") and copy the new 
check_snmp plugin to your production plugins directory.

As far as SNMP v2 goes... I don't actually know.  There may be reasons 
to avoid it (perhaps someone else on the list can address this), but I 
was in the same boat you were: I had some devices that only used SNMP 
v2, thus I added support for it in.
