I was mislead by this display when I ran snmpd also, since the UDP protocol is used, a LISTEN state is not displayed. It looks like your snmpd is running Good luck. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of zaman L Sent: Friday, March 02, 2007 6:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: configuring net-snmp from source so you can do 1 of 2 things (choose one) a) run snmpd like this: # ./snmpd -f -Lo -c /path/to/your/snmpd.conf I tried that but it gives me the same error.

See snmp.conf(5) for details. /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/snmpd.local.conf Agent-specific configuration. See snmpd.conf(5) for details. These files are optional and may be used to configure access control, trap generation, subagent protocols and much else besides. In addition to these two configuration files in /etc/snmp, the agent will read any files with the names snmpd.conf and snmpd.local.conf in a colon separated path specified in the SNMPCONFPATH environment variable. /usr/share/snmp/mibs/ The agent will also load all files in this directory as MIBs. It will not, however, load any file that begins with a '.' or descend into subdirectories. --------------------------------------------------------- so you can do 1 of 2 things (choose one) a) run snmpd like this: # ./snmpd -f -Lo -c /path/to/your/snmpd.conf I tried that but it gives me the same error.

I guess this will copy the config files to /etc/snmp/ and the agent will automatically find thgem there (# ./snmpd -f -Lo) hope this helps. jmf > > With thanks and Regards > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
