Hi Ashwin, Thanks for the reply. I think your additional instructions should be included in the 'INSTALL' file that comes with Net-SNMP. However, it's still not starting as a daemon. I tried adding a soft-link to /etc/init.d/snmpd to /usr/local/sbin/snmpd and when I try and execute /etc/init.d/snmpd start it returns the prompt and gives no error but when running ps fax, I can see it's not running. I also tried adding an snmpd file to /etc/default with the following contents: SNMPDRUN=yes SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid' And now in ps fax, I can see snmpd there, but it's still not responding. I'm thinking it might have been easier to install the older version through apt-get. Thanks Steve.
