Re: problem starting snmpd

Dave:
thanks for your quick reply. I am running my application as root. I
would like to run it as a master agent or subagent. At this time it
does not really matter.

Here is what I am getting back:
Warning: no access control information configured.
  It's unlikely this agent can serve any useful purpose in this state.
  Run "snmpconf -g basic_setup" to help you configure the snmpAgent.conf file for this agent.
Error opening specified endpoint ""
 
I am running the example-demon.c program. Looks like this:

.
.
.

  //build tree and init values of variables in it
  init_mibdata();

  /* initialize vacm/usm access control  */
  if (!agentx_subagent) {
      //init_vacm_vars();
      //init_usmUser();
  }

  init_snmp("snmpAgent");

  /* Let's become an snmp master agent */
  if (!agentx_subagent)
    init_master_agent();  /* open the port to listen on (defaults to udp:161) */

  /* In case we recevie a request to stop (kill -TERM or kill -INT) */
  keep_running = 1;
  signal(SIGTERM, stop_server);
  signal(SIGINT, stop_server);

  snmp_log(LOG_INFO,"snmpAgentDemon is up and running.\n");

  /* main loop */
  while(keep_running) {

    agent_check_and_process(0); /* 0 == don't block */

  }
.
.
.


Thanks!
Yan~

How are you starting the agent?
In particular, who are you running the agent as?

That looks suspiciously like the errors produced when
you try to start things as a non-privileged user.
You typically need to start everything as root.
