[Bug 345130] [NEW] /etc/tinysnmp.conf "allow" statement doesn't work for specified hostname

[Greg Padberg]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tinysnmp-agent

Description:  Ubuntu 8.04.2 (Hardy)
Release:  8.04

/etc/tinysnmp.conf "allow" parameter does not work properly when hostname
(e.g. cacti.foonetworks.net) is specified.

Host with tinysnmp-agent installed is able to ping cacti.foonetworks.net
(network and DNS both OK).

Workaround is to specify IP address of cacti.foonetworks.net instead of
hostname.
