Greetings - I'm trying to get snmpd started on a RH 7.2 server. First, let me say that I have it running just fine on another server, also 7.2. The only difference between the two servers, AFAIK, is hardware. The OS installation and configuration is as identical as I can make it.
I ran /usr/bin/snmpconf, and answered the questions. I made a copy of /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, then copied the output of snmpconf to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. I made sure there were ipchains rules allowing communcations on port 161 (tcp and udp). I modified /etc/init.d/snmpd to add "-c /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf" to the startup options. If I start snmpd with '/etc/init.d/snmpd start', I get the "OK" message, and /var/log/messages says: Jan 28 12:54:49 host snmpd: snmpd startup succeeded However, nothing shows in "ps -ef". If I stop it with '/etc/init.d/snmpd stop', I get a "FAILED" message, and /var/log/messages says: Jan 28 15:16:16 tristan snmpd: snmpd shutdown failed Which is to be expected, since it never really started in the first place. If I run it from the command line, with the '-D' debug option, I get some mystery output: [root@host tmp]# /usr/sbin/snmpd -D -P /var/run/snmpd -a -c /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf trace: ds_set_string(): default_store.c, 120 ds_set_string: Setting 0:5 = /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf trace: ds_set_boolean(): default_store.c, 53 ds_set_boolean: Setting 1:1 = 0/False I have it running on another server, with the same command line options, the same configuration (except for things like hostname, etc). I tested it with snmpwalk, and it works fine, MRTG is working, etc. It's just this other server that isn't working for some reason. I've been searching via Google for a possible solution, and have tried the archives of this list at redhat.com, but the search results are always zero. Any ideas what might be happening, and/or any ideas how I can get some more verbose debugging information to try and figure out what is going on? Right now I am stumped. - John ============================================ John Turner [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 248-488-3466 Advertising Audit Service http://www.aas.com -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
