Yes, have filed a bug report with Apple. darwin-dev is a good idea, thanks.

You'll probably find the error in /var/log/snmpd.log.

OK, thanks for the response.

FYI, this is what SF.net staff says about this:

<Fingolfin> burley: one guy posted a script to fink-devel for auto- 
converting the CVS repos to the new server URL, quite handy

<burley> Fingolfin: yeah, I would be hesitant to use those

I would suggest to go on a more specialized forum like darwin-dev.
Or file a bug with Apple directly.

I don't get the error, but snmpd doesn't work for me either. It just 
silently quits.

Yes, there is no /dev/kmem or /dev/mem on Mac/intel. This is weird. I 
haven't seen it discussed anywhere although it breaks the whole 
documented kvm interface.

> Is there a way to create /dev/mem?

Maybe, but this doesn't sound like something a user should play with. If 
they removed it, they probably had their reasons. Judging from Apple's 
past behavior, I think it is quite possible that some kernel security 
guy did this and never told anyone else about it.

No idea, but it sounds likely.

Yes, found it. Same as yours.

Forgot to say that this works in the same way for both anon CVS access 
and for developer access.

switch to fink.cvs.sourceforge.net

Now that cvs is up again, I guess everybody is reinventing the wheel in 
the form of a little one-liner to convert their local CVS repository to 
the new style.

To save others the time for testing, here is one that worked for me (cut 
in four to avoid chopping by mailers):

find . -name CVS -type d \
-execdir perl -pi -e \
's|\@cvs.sourceforge|\@fink.cvs.sourceforge|' CVS/Root \; \
-execdir perl -pi -e 's|/cvsroot/fink/||' CVS/Repository \;

Note that if you only change the Root and don't change the Repository 
too (a change I haven't seen mentioned in SF's explanations of the new 
configuration), you will get thousands of "move away *; it is in the 
way" messages.

Run this inside /sw/fink, or change "." to the root of the repository 
you want converted.

A somewhat more comfortable method would be the following little script, 
to be saved for example as ~/bin/cvsconvert and to be used as

  cvsconvert /sw/fink

#!/bin/sh
# switch sf CVS rep to new version 2006-05-12
[ -z $1 ] && exec echo Usage: cvsconvert directory
DIR=$1
for CVS in `find $DIR -name CVS -type d`
