Problem with agent 2.6 start

Question

Hi 

I wonder if you could help with the error below, which has appeared recently when trying to start an agent on the multiple hosts (after first installation):

# ocsinventory-agent 

Use of uninitialized value $password in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Ocsinventory/Agent/Network.pm line 52.

We have been using ocsinventory software for quite a while and have been deploying it on different servers, however recently we noticed this error during the agent first startup. To be specific it affects version 2.6, as when downgraded to 2.4 it seemed to work

# rpm -qa | grep ocsinventory-agent

ocsinventory-agent-2.6.0-1.el7.ocs.x86_64

ocsinventory-agent-core-2.6.0-1.el7.ocs.x86_64

In this case it affects OS below:

# cat /etc/redhat-release 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.6 (Maipo)

# 

3.10.0-957.27.2.el7.x86_64

I've seen similar posts, but didn't find any resolution. Would you  please be able to help?

Regards

Michal

Hey,

I've the problem of inventory on server (see http://ask.ocsinventory-ng.org/11345/agent-does-not-sent-inventory). Where did you find the agent version 2.6? I didn't find a version newer than 2.4 (either for Windows nor for Linux).

Kind regards
