I am new to snmp and net-snmp and am trying to go through tutorials to
set up an snmp agent

I configured the agent but am not able to start snmpd. When I run the
following command, it does not seem to do anything and continues to run
forever unless I explicitly kill the snmpd process

	misen@misen-desktop:~/work/snmp/net-snmp-5.4.2.1$ sudo snmpd -Le
-C -c /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf :10161
misen@misen-desktop:~/work/snmp/net-snmp-5.4.2.1$ NET-SNMP version
5.4.2.1

	misen@misen-desktop:~/work/snmp/net-snmp-5.4.2.1$ ps -eaf|grep
snmp

	root 8855 1 0 18:29 ? 00:00:00 snmpd -Le -C -c
/usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf :10161

	misen 8858 5926 0 18:31 pts/2 00:00:00 grep snmp

If I try to start the agent using the following command, the snmp agent
does not start. 

	misen@misen-desktop:~/work/snmp/net-snmp-5.4.2.1$
/usr/local/sbin/snmpd 

	misen@misen-desktop:~/work/snmp/net-snmp-5.4.2.1$ ps -eaf|grep
snmp

	misen 8863 5926 0 18:33 pts/2 00:00:00 grep snmp

What am I doing wrong? How can I figure out whats going on?

Any help will be much appreciated.
