permission denied when using snmpwalk
I'm trying to snmpwalk a server using Cygwin, and when I type snmpwalk -c like I am used to doing on a *nix box, I get a message saying that permission is denied. What might I need to check here? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

What might I need to check here? Hard to say but since this isn't part of a Cygwin package, it's off-topic for this list. I'd recommend consulting the provider. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc. (508) 893-9779 - RFK Office 216 Dalton Rd. (508) 893-9889 - FAX Holliston, MA 01746 _ A: Yes.

Larry is right this is likely off topic but since a possibly similar message was on this list a few days ago I can tell you that there appears to be a problem with Windows permissions allowing Cygwin to open a socket. This isnt technically Cygwin's fault as it is a Windows permissions thing, but if you are affected by this, AND snmpwalk wants a socket to do its scanning then snmpwalk wont be able to open a socket and you may not get any more of an informative message other than Sorry, can't do it. At least the other app had an informative message stating that a socket could not be opened. I'm honestly not sure if this will help you or if its way off base, but at least it will give you something to check on.
