If you are running it from inittab don't specify do not fork (IE lose the -f) - I suspect as you've told it not to fork its terminating immediately. Also I'd suggest pointing it to the config file you want it to use in the inittab command line and either ensure the MIBDIR and MIBS variables are specified prior to kicking snmpd off or add them in to the command line. You might find more joy using a startup script and placing it in the relevant rc#.d directory (or what ever the equiv is for your OS/distribution). -- Richard Horton Users are like a virus: Each causing a thousand tiny crises until the host finally dies. http://www.solstans.co.uk - Solstans Japanese Bobtails and Norwegian Forest Cats http://www.pbase.com/arimus - My online photogallery ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Net-snmp-users mailing list [email protected] Please see the following page to unsubscribe or change other options: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/net-snmp-users
