It appears to me that the OpenBSD SNMP daemon: /usr/sbin/snmpd should create it's own socket file: /var/run/snmpd.sock upon startup. There seems to be an error which occurs at startup:
# /usr/sbin/snmpd -d startup fatal: snmpe: failed to bind SNMP UDP socket check_child: lost child: snmp engine exited terminating I am running OpenBSD 5.0 on a Vmware image. I've run snmpd previously on OpenBSD 4.7 without problems. Russell -- Russell Sutherand I+TS e: russell.sutherl...@utoronto.ca t: +1.416.978.0470 f: +1.416.978.6620 m: +1.416.803.0080
