What does "unable" mean? What happens when you try?

Subject: unable to run snmpd as non-root user

Hi,

Could any one tell me why the snmpd does not run with sudo as given below.

$ sudo /home/ravi/net-snmp-5.5/agent/snmpd -c
/home/ravi/net-snmp-5.5/local/snmpd.conf,/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf -C -u
ravi

I am trying to run snmpd as root with sudo command on 161 port and switch
back to user ravi using -u option. User ravi is included in /etc/sudoers
file.


Thanks,
Ravi
