Hi,

First of all, thanks for helping.

Have copied the errors below and config file is attached.

cccbl:~ # ps h -eo pid,args | grep snmpd

4767 grep snmpd

cccbl:~ # snmpd -Le -f-Dread_config

/usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 60: Error: Blank line following agentgroup token.

ucd-snmp: 1 error(s) in config file(s)

Turning on AgentX master support.

Note this is still experimental and shouldn't be used on critical systems.

/usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 60: Error: Blank line following agentgroup token.

ucd-snmp: 1 error(s) in config file(s)

illegal port transport 172.16.10.88:161

Server Exiting with code 1

cccbl:~ #

I'd started with net-snmp 5.5. After reading on somewhere that older versions might work better i changed to net-snmp 5.4.2 and now ucd-snmp-4.2.3 ...

Does this add to my problems??

Yep.

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

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
