Which package provides the function snmpwalk?
I assumed it was net-snmp or net-snmp-devel ,
but neither seems to have it (in Fedora-4).

I'm looking at rrd (round-robin database),
and several of the examples I have looked at
have shell scripts which call this function (snmpwalk),
and google suggests it should be in /usr/bin/ .

Incidentally, how can one find which package contains a function like this?
I tried "yum search snmpwalk" but I am not clear where "yum search" looks,
or what it looks for?
Does one have to list the exact file one is looking for? 
eg "yum search /usr/bin/snmpwalk"?

Any suggestions or advice gratefully received.

Try "yum provides snmpwalk", it returns "net-snmp-utils.i386", which 
is installed on my FC3 system in /usr/bin.

Thanks for this -
and apologies for the too short title (";")!
[I was just passing the entry by,
on the grounds that only an idiot would give that title,
when I noticed the author was me!
I lost the title during cut-and-paste.]

Thanks for the other responses too.
I'm looking at cacti now.

I did see there was a Perl solution,
which is used in some of the rrd update scripts I've seen,
but I was looking for the function as used in bash scripts
(which of course I have now found).

Do you have it installed with rpm?

rpm -q --provides snmpwalk

Are you looking for executable?

which snmpwalk

Before you spend days setting up scripts to do this by
hand, look at http://www.cacti.net/index.php.
