Re: It's unlikely this agent can serve any useful purpose in this state /This receiver will *NOT* accept any incoming notifications

Hi,

You seem to have a few issues:

1) Error opening specified endpoint ""

Means that you already are running an snmpd instance and port is already in 
use. Therefore it won't start.

2) mkdir -p /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpconf-data
3) snmpconf -g basic_setup

BR,
Nikos
