Hi Thomas

I compiled and installed the NET-SNMP (5.3.1). when I run the command

        /usr/local/sbin/snmpd -f -L

Am getting the following error message

        /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 49: Error: bad security
level (noauthnopriv, authnopriv, authpriv)
net-snmp: 1 error(s) in config file(s)
[init_smux] bind failed: Permission denied
Error opening specified endpoint "udp:161"
Server Exiting with code 1

My snmpd.conf access control section looks like this.


########################################################################
###
# SECTION: Access Control Setup
#
#   This section defines who is allowed to talk to your running
#   snmp agent.

# rwuser: a SNMPv3 read-write user
#   arguments:  user [noauth|auth|priv] [restriction_oid]

rwuser  ravis  1.3.6.1.4.1.3317.1.3.1 <-------*--------->this place
gives
problem

# rouser: a SNMPv3 read-only user
#   arguments:  user [noauth|auth|priv] [restriction_oid]

rouser  kshitij auth 1.3.6.1.4.1.3317.1.3.1

I guess I have done some messup in configuring snmpd.conf

Please let me know reason beyond this. I am struggling since from past
couple of days . no snmpd is running in the system.

Hi Thomas

I downloaded the source, and able to extract the files. Thanks for the
answers.

Now I am compiling the source.

Please don't. I strongly recommend against starting with something as
old as that, especially on a rather recent system such as Solaris 10.

Please make sure that you "./configure --with-mib-modules=smux" (like in
the example you gave).

What exactly did you try and what exact error messages did you get?
In a nutshell here's what you should do:

1) Download the source (net-snmp-5.3.1.tar.gz) from
http://www.net-snmp.org/download

2) Unpack the sources:
   gzip -dc net-snmp-5.3.1.tar.gz | tar xvf -

3) Build and install it (see the file INSTALL):
   cd net-snmp-5.3.1
   ./configure ...
   make
   make test
   su
   make install


+Thomas
