Re: SNMPD error (ASAP)

Hardaker.

Thanks for update. 

I had bit confusion on  "snmpTrapdAddr"  Directives.  What actually i did 
in conf file is " i assigned  remote host name to "snmpTrapdAddr" . Say  , 
Machine "xyz" sends trap messages to "abc" machine. In "abc" machine , i 
have configured snmptrapd.conf file such that  "snmpTrapdAddr" pointing to 
"abc" machine.

My assumption/intention  of   using "snmpTrapdAddr" is that, i would like 
to  get trap messages from "xyz" machine. (means, get trap messages from 
"xyz" machine only). 


2) I am using "snmpget" command( say from abc machine)  to get sysuptime 
of remote machine(say xyz machine sysuptime).  In remote machine (xyz) , i 
ran snmpd command as  /usr/sbin/snmpd -f -Le -d  and i  have observed that 
, the "sysuptime snmpget request from abc machine is displayed on screen" 
but no response from "xyz" machine. 

I have verified host file in both machine and i observed  that, the host 
file of  abc machine  has  an entry for xyz machine and similarly for host 
file of  xyz machine   have an entry for abc machine. And  also snmp.conf 
file in xyz machine have entry " rocommunity  com_name  abc" .


                Please let us know why i am not getting response from xyz 
machine.

That's an odd error and the text comes from the system failing a DNS
lookup most likely.  What if you add xyz.abc.att.com to /etc/hosts, will
it work then?  (which is not a good long term solution, but it's a good 
test).

I still suspect that DNS is still failing (in this case, you said
alt.com and above you said att.com...)
