I've modified the rc.d script in -current to set this.

Even though I had previously read the (net)snmpd manpage, I went through it again, and found (apparently, missed it before): -r Do not require root access to run the daemon. Specifically, do not exit if files only accessible to root (such as /dev/kmem etc.) cannot be opened. So, I added 'netsnmpd_flags="-r -u _netsnmp -I -ipv6"' to /etc/rc.conf.local, and netsmtpd now starts without as expected. # rcctl start netsnmpd netsnmpd(ok) Thanks again

netsnmpd Fails to Start on Current
Hello
I updated to the Oct 2 AMD64 snapshot yesterday.
I then updated to the Oct 3 AMD64 snapshot today.
After updating to the Oct 2 snapshot, I noticed that netsnmpd (from packages)
was "failed" on reboot.
I updated all the packages (pkg_add -vui), but had a failure ("bad minor" or
something like that), so then updated to the Oct 3 snapshot today.
# uname -prsv
OpenBSD 6.0 GENERIC.MP#2525 amd64
This time, updating of net-snmp was successful, but "rcctl start netsnmpd" still
returns "failed."
# pkg_info | grep net-snmp
net-snmp-5.7.3p9extendable SNMP implementation
But,
# rcctl -d start netsnmpd
doing _rc_parse_conf
doing _rc_quirks
netsnmpd_flags empty, using default >-u _netsnmp -I -ipv6<
doing _rc_parse_conf /var/run/rc.d/netsnmpd
doing _rc_quirks
doing rc_check
netsnmpd
doing rc_start
doing _rc_rm_runfile
(failed)
# /usr/local/sbin/snmpd -L e
kvm_openfiles: Operation not permitted
kvm_openfiles: /dev/mem: Operation not permitted
I found openbsd-rcd-EuroBSDcon2016.pdf under
https://www.openbsd.org/events.html, and I added a login class for netsnmpd to
/etc/login.conf
---
netsnmpd:\
:openfiles-cur=512:\
:tc=daemon:
---
I didn't think this login.conf change would make a difference, but I did not
think it would hurt either.
I have added "wxallowed" to /usr/local in fstab.
I have no idea what the "kvm_openfiles" errors mean; let alone how to address
it/them.
I would appreciate any advice on how to proceed.
Thanks
Ted
