snmpd Error opening specified endpoint
Hi :) I'm having a problem starting snmpd under FreeBSD-5.2-p2... I tried several options but I always get some strange errors. Note that I launch snmpd as root... --- # snmpd -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -c /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf -Ls d 127.0.0.1 snmpd: Error opening specified endpoint 127.0.0.1 snmpd: Server Exiting with code 1 --- # snmpd -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -c /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf snmpd: Error opening specified endpoint udp:161 snmpd: Server Exiting with code 1 --- # netstat -a | grep snm udp4 0 0 *.snmp *.* # ps ax | grep snmp -- nothing !!! --- If you have any idea on what's happening, I would really appreciate.

Antoine Jacoutot disturbed my sleep to write: I'm having a problem starting snmpd under FreeBSD-5.2-p2... I tried several options but I always get some strange errors. Hm...it looks like you may already have snmp running, or at least something else listening on UDP port 161: # netstat -a | grep snm udp4 0 0 *.snmp *.* Try running sockstat | grep 161 and posting the results. Also, a quick Google for snmp specified endpoint turns up a fair number of newsgroup messages; some seem to suggest that there may be problems with the very latest version of net-snmpd. By any chance, are you compiling a very recent version?

Especially since this is a brand new system not even connected to the internet (I mean, there can't be any rootkit or so...). Try running sockstat | grep 161 and posting the results. Pfuhh, why didn't I do this before, what an idiot... I can't reach the server right now, so I'll post the output as soon as I get to the box...

By any chance, are you compiling a very recent version? Yes, I've seen all those google posts before asking here, BUT: - I compiled net-snmp from the ports collection - the latest port is from January 2nd, so I guess someone would have caught this problem before me if it was specifically FreeBSD/port related. Obviously, there's something wrong on my box... I'll try to give more information soon. Thanks.
