Thanks for Dave's advice for security, I would fix the problem later. Now the first priority is to make snmpd work and get it load the *.so module.
I runned snmpconf, and created the snmp.conf and snmpd.conf and restart the snmpd in /usr/local/sbin/snmpd with -f -Le option, It still complains about access control information like the following: Warning: no access control information configured. (Config search path: /usr/local/etc/snmp:/usr/local/share/snmp:/usr/local/lib/snmp:/root/.snmp) It's unlikely this agent can serve any useful purpose in this state. Run "snmpconf -g basic_setup" to help you configure the snmpd.conf file for this agent. NET-SNMP version 5.6.1 and "snmpdget -v2c -c public localhost sysDescr.0" doesn't get any response. I attatched the configuration file created by snmpconf , is there any problem with that?
