Re: Can agent edit/update snmpd.conf

Sorry, if I was not clear. I was referring to the access control information (both rocommunity and trap2sink) we add to the snmpd.conf at /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.
 
We collect the hosts that can access our node from the user and add them to snmpd.conf file. We allow both IP addresses and FQDN's for the hosts. 
 
During the crash the very first FQDN host is missing from snmpd.conf. And this happens only "IF" the subagent crashes not otherwise.
 
Hope I am clear..
 
Thanks and Regards,
Malathi

Added to which snmpd.conf file in what list?

The subagent certainly shouldn't be modifying any information in the
master agent, and the master agent shouldn't be losing information.

Which snmpd.conf is getting replaced?  You shouldn't be editing the one
in /var/net-snmp/ by hand.
