Yes you were right. The problem was that it was started with localhost parameter. And it was the startup script /etc/init.d/snmpd that added this parameter. So finally I had to edit /etc/init.d/snmpd and replace "start-stop-daemon --start....$OPTIONS..." with plain "/usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid" and localhost parameter was gone for good. $OPTIONS did not specify localhost parameter so I could not remove it that way. It looks like "start-stop-daemon" automatically inserted localhost parameter at the end. I have another installation on CentOS RedHat and this problem did not exist there. It only happened on my Ubuntu 9.04, so it seems like Debian distribution did not configure snmpd correctly and it was preventing remote connections thru its startup script. Thanks for your feedback.

How do I make it allow remote connections as well? Check how the agent is being started. In particular, what options it is started with. If there's a parameter such as "localhost" or "localhost:161", then delete this and restart the agent. By default, the agent will listen on the standard port on all available interfaces. But if you explicitly specify a list of ports, then it will only listen on those. I don't use Ubuntu myself, so I don't know how this is configured there. But on a Fedora/RedHat system, it would typically be controlled via /etc/sysconfig/snmpd Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
