Re: snmpd log file

Hi Simon,

Hope you're doing well.

These weird looking messages are actually representation of the data that
is sent from an snmpd agent to a sub-agent or vice versa.

Generally, when I'm starting my snmpd agent's binary I use the following
command:

*./snmpd -d -Lo -f -c /{Path_to_snmp.conf}/snmpd.conf*

Note the flag -d which indicates that debug mode is on, and the agent will
log/print all the incoming or outgoing packets byte by byte.

To disable these debug messages, you can skip the -d flag and instead use
the following command:

*./snmpd -Lo -f -c /{Path_to_snmp.conf}/snmpd.conf*

Hope it solves your problem.
(By the way, I'm just a beginner with SNMP protocol and net-snmp library.
So pardon me for some mistakes, which might be there in my understanding.
@snmp devs: please correct me, if I've misinterpret something.)

Thanks & Regards,

Ashutosh Kumar
