	Yep.

	Actually, it may be working, but we'll get back to that in a moment...

> have attached config files

	That's not the config file, it's the net-snmp-config session.  The config file we want is the generated snmpd.conf file.

	Note that user "root" should have group "root" - "public" is what you want for the rocommunity (read-only).

	Thanks for the screenshot.  Note that snmpd backgrounds by default, so see if you still have an snmpd running:

# ps h -eo pid,args | grep snmpd

	If there is any output to that, then

# kill [pid]

	...replacing [pid] with the number in the first column.  Now do this:

# snmpd -Le -f -Dread_config

	This will run the agent in the foregrouns and log all errors to the console.  That's a start - let's see how far that gets you.


	HTH,

Mike
