An installation from the main Net-SNMP source tarball wouldn't tend to include O/S-specific mechanisms for starting the agent. So no - there is no /etc/init.d/snmpd script installed by default. David, your best options are probably to either: - use the RedHat-provided RPM (which will be configured for use in a RedHat environment, but may not be the most recent version) - use a project-supplied RPM (if available) - which ought to be reasonably tailored to a RedHat environment (though probably not as fully as the RedHat-provided binaries) - use the file 'dist/net-snmp.spec' to build the project into an RPM of your own. This *should* include the necessary /etc/init.d/snmpd script. For this third option, copy the 'net-snmp.spec' file to /etc/src/redhat/SPECS, copy the tarball to /etc/src/redhat/SOURCES, and run the command rpmbuild -bb /etc/src/redhat/SPECS/net-snmp.spec With a little bit of luck, that should give you a fully-working RPM. But the simplest approach would be to use RedHat-supplied RPMs, as Josef suggested. Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
