net-snmp newbie needs help

Greetings!

I am BRAND new to the whole net-snmp thing, so please bear with me... 
I'm looking for some basic guidance.

I've run configure, make, and make install with the following successful 
result (as far as I can tell):

---------------------------------------------------------
            Net-SNMP configuration summary:
---------------------------------------------------------
 
  Net-SNMP Version:           5.1.4.0.1
  Building for:               linux
  Network transport support:  Callback Unix TCP UDP
  SNMPv3 Security Modules:    usm
  Agent MIB code:             mibII ucd_snmp snmpv3mibs notification 
target agent_mibs agentx utilities
  SNMP Perl modules:          disabled
  Embedded perl support:      disabled
  Authentication support:     MD5 SHA1
  Encryption support:         DES AES
 
---------------------------------------------------------

 
However, after launching the snmpd process and verifying that it is 
running (as shown below)

[root@pegasus sbin]# ps aux | grep snmpd
root     32317  3.0  0.2  7056 2584 ?        S    10:14   0:00 ./snmpd
root     32319  0.0  0.0  3508  372 pts/4    D    10:14   0:00 grep snmpd


I cannot get a response from the snmp daemon (again, shown below)

[dana@pegasus net-snmp-5.1.4.pre1]$ snmpwalk -v 1 localhost -c public system
Timeout: No Response from localhost


If, however, I launch /usr/bin/snmpd from my distribution, it runs 
successfully as shown:

[dana@pegasus net-snmp-5.1.4.pre1]$ snmpwalk -v 1 localhost -c public system
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux pegasus 2.4.20-8smp #1 SMP Thu 
Mar 13 17:45:54 EST 2003 i686
SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 = OID: NET-SNMP-MIB::netSnmpAgentOIDs.10
SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (957) 0:00:09.57
SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING: Root <root@localhost> (configure 
/etc/snmp/snmp.local.conf)
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: pegasus


Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Thanks,

Dana Heath
