Package: snmpd Version: 5.7.3+dfsg-5 Severity: Normal Dear Maintainer,
this is a follow-up to bug https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=786887 which was closed because it was filed against a very old version of this package. I just tried again with an up-to-date debian sid system, and it still happens with a default configuration: root@sid-snmpd-default-monitors:~# > /var/log/syslog root@sid-snmpd-default-monitors:~# systemctl start snmpd root@sid-snmpd-default-monitors:~# cat /var/log/syslog Mar 11 19:45:31 sid-snmpd-default-monitors systemd[1]: Starting Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Daemon.... Mar 11 19:45:31 sid-snmpd-default-monitors systemd[1]: Started Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Daemon.. Mar 11 19:45:31 sid-snmpd-default-monitors snmpd[385]: /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 145: Warning: Unknown token: defaultMonitors. Mar 11 19:45:31 sid-snmpd-default-monitors snmpd[385]: /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 147: Warning: Unknown token: linkUpDownNotifications. Mar 11 19:45:31 sid-snmpd-default-monitors snmpd[385]: Turning on AgentX master support. Mar 11 19:45:31 sid-snmpd-default-monitors snmpd[385]: NET-SNMP version 5.7.3 Line 145 is the line that enabled defaultMonitors (indented like that, btw): # generate traps on UCD error conditions defaultMonitors yes There are a number of steps one has to take to get rid of those warnings, and I'm listing them here in the hopes of helping others, not necessarily as a guideline on how this should be fixed. I collected these together from several bug reports and/or comments: - remove the MIBS= variable definition (to empty) from the systemd service file: #Environment="MIBS=" - comment the "mibs" line in /etc/snmp/snmp.conf: #mibs : - remove ",mteTrigger,mteTriggerConf" from the ExecStart line in the same systemd service file: ExecStart=/usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u Debian-snmp -g Debian-snmp -I -smux -f -p /run/snmpd.pid - reload systemd: sudo systemctl daemon-reload - enable non-free and install snmp-mibs-downloader: sudo apt install snmp-mibs-downloader - restart snmpd sudo systemctl restart snmpd
