Package: snmpd Version: 5.4.1~dfsg-6 Severity: normal Reading the man snmpd, I'm tempted to believe snmpd will detect interfaces to listen on if started without an explicit interface in arguments : " By default, snmpd listens for incoming SNMP requests on UDP port 161 on all IPv4 interfaces. However, it is possible to modify this behaviour by specifying one or more listening addresses as arguments to snmpd."
However, if started manually (or without 127.0.0.1 last argument in /etc/default/snmpd) it will abort, and return 0. As a consequence, the /etc/init.d/snmpd script returns as if nothing was wrong... Still, the syslog contains : Apr 10 13:32:18 kilauea snmpd[21788]: Error opening specified endpoint "" Apr 10 13:32:18 kilauea snmpd[21788]: Server Exiting with code 1 Eithere there's something wrong with the manual, or with the return code... or both. Thanks in advance.
