I think I'm almost there now. Running your suggestion gave me this, > snmpd -f -Lo -C -c snmpd.conf Error opening specified endpoint "" Server Exiting with code 1
I felt that the endpoint needed to get mentioned so, > snmpd -f -Lo udp:161 -C -c snmpd.conf Error opening specified endpoint "udp:161" Server Exiting with code 1 I read online about using "sockstat" to see if the port was in-use, but it turns out nothing's running there. A little later I discovered that ports below 1024 are locked out of regular users. So I tried running the above command with sudo (there is no root user in ubuntu) and I get this, > sudo snmpd -f -Lo udp:161 -C -c snmpd.conf snmpd: error while loading shared libraries: libnetsnmpagent.so.20: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory It's similar to my first problem (different email) but I can't figure out how to get sudo to recognize my "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" variable that I mentioned in my ".bashrc" file. Hints/Help?
