What do you mean by active?

Yup.
I'd describe that as active

So even if you manage to run it, you won't actually be
able to query it.   It's active, but inaccessible.

That sounds as if there was *already* an agent
running.  Probably the one listed by ps.
It's very likely that this also doesn't have a
useful access control configuration.

You haven't set up access control before starting
the agent initially.
  Create a file  /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf (or
/usr/local/snmp/snmpd.conf depending on how
the software was compiled), containing

	rocommunity public

Make sure that the agent is *not* running
(using ps to check), and then run:

	snmpd -f -Le

What does this display?
