Unfortunately, this release introduced a seriously annoying regression, where
logengine crashes on startup.  This translates to an error message in your
mailbox once every minute.

Therefore,

Seed-DB not working

Hey List,

I upgraded to 3.6.0 and now to 3.6.3 but still no luck - the seed-db 
page is not working :(

I always end up with this error:

What linux distro are you using? Did you install via Werner's deb-package or
from source?

To me, it looks like you haven't installed pysnmp-se.  There's also a known
problem with multiple pysnmp versions in Ubuntu, if that's what you're using.

Re: Seed-DB not working

Hey Morten,

sorry - I forgot to add the relevant information:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=jaunty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.04"

The following pysnmp packets are installed:

ii  python-pysnmp-common                       4.1.9a-1
ii  python-pysnmp2                             2.0.9-1
ii  python-pysnmp4                             4.1.9a-1
ii  python-pysnmp4-apps                        0.2.6a-1
ii  python-pysnmp4-mibs                        0.0.5a-3

I installed from source (at some point I installed from source because 
the deb's weren't available yet and kept upgrading the source version 
since then).

Any hints? :)

Yes. Install python-pysnmp-se, then uninstall python-pysnmp2 and
python-pysnmp4.

NAV 3.6 uses pysnmp-se, but Ubuntu has a bug where pysnmp2 will always be
loaded if it is installed - which is why I recommend uninstalling the other
versions.

Announcement: NAV 3.7.0 released

NAV 3.7.0 is now available for download at Launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/nav/3.7/3.7.0

This feature release includes:

 * Geomap - an OpenStreetMap-based geographical network traffic map.

 * Active Directory LDAP authentication (see
   http://metanav.uninett.no/ldapauthentication for updated docs)

 * sudo-like ability for administrators in the web interface. While editing
   users in the useradmin tool, an administrator can opt to effectively
   become that user.  This is useful for helping with alert profile setup and
   privilege problems.

Some bugfixes from the 3.6.x branch have also been included, please refer to
the changelog.

Note that this release bumps the version requirements of Python to 2.5.0 and
PostgreSQL to 8.3.

Please report bugs at https://bugs.launchpad.net/nav 

A binary package for Debian 5 (Lenny) will be made available as soon as
possible. The Debian package is maintained by Morten Werner Forsbring, on
commission From UNINETT.

Happy NAVing everyone!
