Hi Olivier, > 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.

That's correct :) > 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... That's very strange and I can't replicate this here. This is /etc/default/snmpd I am using here with 5.4.1~dfsg-6: -----------------------------------------------8<--------------------------------------------- # This file controls the activity of snmpd and snmptrapd # MIB directories. /usr/share/snmp/mibs is the default, but # including it here avoids some strange problems. export MIBDIRS=/usr/share/snmp/mibs # snmpd control (yes means start daemon). SNMPDRUN=yes # snmpd options (use syslog, close stdin/out/err). SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid' # snmptrapd control (yes means start daemon). As of net-snmp version # 5.0, master agentx support must be enabled in snmpd before snmptrapd # can be run. See snmpd.conf(5) for how to do this. TRAPDRUN=yes # snmptrapd options (use syslog). TRAPDOPTS='-Lsd -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid' # create symlink on Debian legacy location to official RFC path SNMPDCOMPAT=yes -----------------------------------------------8<--------------------------------------------- Thanks, Jochen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
