Re: [Fwd: Re: Q: how to create a simple agent deals with scalars]

You are right on the point that it did have a vendor supplied agent from
SUSE. I tried to uninstall it by rpm -e net-snmp. But it some other
libraries were dependent on net-snmp. So I tried to remove it without
considering the dependency by rpm -e --nodeps net-snmp. That command
succeeded. I am not sure the original preinstalled version was removed
completely.

The output of /usr/local/sbin/snmpd -f -Le
NET-SNMP version 5.3.2

Every time before starting up the daemon, I always check out the 161 port
by netstat -an | grep 161 to make sure this port is not opened. So there
shouldn't be another service that is responding my request.
