Re: how to start snmpd in Ubuntu

I think I'm almost there now. Running your suggestion gave me this,

> snmpd -f -Lo -C -c snmpd.conf
Error opening specified endpoint ""
Server Exiting with code 1

I felt that the endpoint needed to get mentioned so,

> snmpd -f -Lo udp:161 -C -c snmpd.conf
Error opening specified endpoint "udp:161"
Server Exiting with code 1

I read online about using "sockstat" to see if the port was in-use,
but it turns out nothing's running there. A little later I discovered
that ports below 1024 are locked out of regular users. So I tried
running the above command with sudo (there is no root user in ubuntu)
and I get this,

> sudo snmpd -f -Lo udp:161 -C -c snmpd.conf
snmpd: error while loading shared libraries: libnetsnmpagent.so.20:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It's similar to my first problem (different email) but I can't figure
out how to get sudo to recognize my "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" variable that I
mentioned in my ".bashrc" file.

Hints/Help?

Even more puzzled,
Abraham Varricatt
