Best to make the operator install any unlocked doors that may be needed...

What it does is, make a domain socket called 'tcp:localhost:705'. The only way to do it via tcp seems to be the config file option: agentxsocket tcp:localhost:705 The only reason I asked the original question was because on a RHEL 5 box, I thought this was enabled by default. Upon closer inspection I see that someone put the appropriate lines into its config file without me know it. Hence my thinking it was on be default. I'll just put it and the 'master agentx' option into the config file.

why does agentX default to using domain sockets?
Continuing on my quest to get Net-SNMP working well on this old AIX box, I'm now trying to enable AgentX (master) support... I'm seeing that by default Net-SNMP is using a domain socket instead of TCP port 705. I can force it to use the port by adding the following to the config file agentxsocket tcp:localhost:705 but how can I make that the default at configure/make time?
