Re: Integrating net-SNMP agent into my application

Thanx,

I tried these suggestions. localhost works fine. Couldn't get, though, unix 
sockets to work.
It creates the unix socket OK, but the example-daemon fails to connect:

Warning: Failed to connect to the agentx master agent ([NIL]):

snmpd.conf:

master agentx
agentXSocket unix:/tmp/master

ls -la /tmp/master:

srwxr-xr-x   1 root     root           0 Jan  4 13:17 /tmp/master

I imagine that example daemon needs to be told of the Unix socket. Any 
ideas?

BR,
Nikos
