Thanks you for your reply. I don't know for sure and my knowledge on snmp is basic. Reading xinetd man page indicates that all standard services defined in /etc/services file can be launched via xinetd. I interpreted that as launching multiple daemons (snmpd) is possible. I take that is not the case for net-snmp. I would appreciate if you clarify the following queries: - is this one standalone deamon limitation specific to net-snmp only? - do other snmp vendors support multiple agent deamons? - I was successfully able to create multiple instances of snmpd using different port number on net-snmp via this command: /usr/sbin/snmpd <proto>:<HostIPaddress>:<port> - I guess it uses one deamon to keep track of all instances?
