Hi Guys,
It does appear to be working now, so please disregard my previous post.
When checking it from an outside server it responds as expected.
Thanks for the help.
Steve.

Hello Anthony,
(I had posted this same mail early morning to an user, you may check
it on the forum :-))
Follow these steps for the fresh installation from source.
1. Log in as root (su - root)
2. Navigate to the home folder where the net-snmp tar.gz is kept
Issue this command at the prompt
tar -zxvf net-snmp-5.5.tar.gz
(I still happen to use v 5.5. Change this with your version)
3. Navigate to the un-tarred directory.
4. Run ./configure
5. make
6. make install
7. You now have netsnmp installed and ready to use.
Ha Ha .. not quite.. theres still a lot of stuff that needs to be done
before we can say...yup..thats working beautifully..
8. Navigate to /usr/local/bin to see if the folder has a bunch of snmp
stuff like *snmpconf snmptranslate* and so on...
9. Also see if the /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs folder and see if all
the MIB files are present..
10. If everything is fine until here try to some configurations
checking (else start-over).
Run,
net-snmp-config --default-mibdirs
and you must get the output
/root/.snmp/mibs:/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs
Run,
net-snmp-config --snmpconfpath
output should be like
/usr/local/etc/snmp:/usr/local/share/snmp:/usr/local/lib/snmp:/root/.snmp:/var/net-snmp
11. Run,
ldd /usr/local/bin/snmptranslate
output will be:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00110000)
libnetsnmpagent.so.15 => not found
libnetsnmphelpers.so.15 => not found
libnetsnmpmibs.so.15 => not found
libnetsnmp.so.15 => not found
This means that you might get snmp*: error while loading shared libraries:
like for example as mentioned above libnetsnmp.so.20: It cannot open
shared object file.
If no error comes like above , no need to do anything, but if error
comes, then, you have to do the steps below
Edit ld.so.conf in /etc and add the details of the lib path of
/usr/local/lib and then run ldconfig
vi /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/Xaw3d
/usr/i386-suse-linux/lib
/usr/local/lib
/opt/kde3/lib
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
(I happen to Use Suse a lot. But something is also very similar to Debian)
12. Run,
ldconfig
13. Now you have to tell netsnmp where to look for MIB files. You use
the snmpconf command to do this. Issue this command at the prompt.
snmpconf
This is what it will appear on your screen,
I can create the following types of configuration files for you.
Select the file type you wish to create:
(you can create more than one as you run this program)
1: snmpd.conf
2: snmptrapd.conf
3: snmp.conf
Other options: quit
Select File: 3
The configuration information which can be put into snmp.conf is divided
into sections. Select a configuration section for snmp.conf
that you wish to create:
1: Debugging output options
2: Textual mib parsing
3: Output style options
4: Default Authentication Options
Other options: finished
Select section: finished
I can create the following types of configuration files for you.
Select the file type you wish to create:
(you can create more than one as you run this program)
1: snmpd.conf
2: snmptrapd.conf
3: snmp.conf
Other options: quit
Select File: quit
The following files were created:
snmp.conf
These files should be moved to /usr/local/share/snmp if you
want them used by everyone on the system. In the future, if you add
the -i option to the command line I'll copy them there automatically
for you.
Or, if you want them for your personal use only, copy them to
/root/.snmp . In the future, if you add the -p option to the
command line I'll copy them there automatically for you.
14. Copy the snmp.conf file.
cp snmp.conf /usr/local/share/snmp/
15. Finally try this.
snmptranslate -Tp -IR ipMIB
You will observe a tree structure on your screen.
This means that everything that you have installed is working
So now the errors are not going to be there because of configuration..
whatever gets screwed up , its your responsibilty ;-) (a little joke)

How did you start the agent?
Was anything logged?
Try running the agent using "snmpd -f -Le"
That will let you see any error messages that it reports.
If I had to guess, my suspicion is that you are being hit by
the problem covered in the FAQ entry
My new agent is ignoring the old snmpd.conf file. Why?
