Re: v5.8 - Error opening specified endpoint ""

This error can also happen when port 161 is already in use. Make sure it is not the case.

Subject: Re: v5.8 - Error opening specified endpoint ""

when I run your suggestion, I get:

Error opening specified endpoint "udp:0.0.0.0:161<http://0.0.0.0:161>"

Have you tried specifying the listening address, I know it's optional but...

snmpd  -c /home/user/my_snmpd.conf  -Lf /tmp/snmpd_log.txt udp:0.0.0.0:161<http://0.0.0.0:161>

Hi,

When I start snmpd agent, it exists with an error message:
             Error opening specified endpoint ""

I start as root with:
     snmpd  -c /home/user/my_snmpd.conf  -Lf /tmp/snmpd_log.txt


The config file my_snmpd.conf is very simple:
createUser Simon   MD5 "Simon-pass"
rwuser     Simon
rocommunity  public
rwcommunity  private

This method used to work on other platforms but suddenly, I am getting the above error.

I found a few mentions of this problem:

https://sourceforge.net/p/net-snmp/mailman/message/36398374/
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50054564/net-snmp-on-start-says-error-opening-specified-endpoint-in-raspberry-pi-j

but they don't work.

Any hint on what to do?

Thx,
S
