Re: a problem about net-snmp 5-4

Dear Dave:

Thank you.
The routine I starting agent is first running as root
and then execute the command : /etc/init.d/snmpd start
or /usr/local/sbin/snmpd

After I testing these two way , I found something. When I start agent via
/etc/init.d
/snmpd start, the agent can start , but can not sent cold start trap , and
the same
error which many mib modules can not be got through snmpget command.
But , when I perform /usr/local/sbin/snmpd , the agent can start too , and
it can
work without error. That means the agent can send cold start trap, and many
mibs
modules can be get , such as hrSystemProcesses . . and so on.

I don't know why , do that mean that I can not start agent via init-snmp?
But the command in the init-snmp should be the same, why the result is so
different?


Thank you.


Best Regards,
Clement Hsu
