Hello guys , I was trying to get a command output from my Centos 6 server using the snmpd "exec" section.
The line added to snmpd.conf id:
exec get_whitelist /bin/cat /home/snmp_user/whitelist.txt
Afer trying to get the resut performing the snmpwalk client form another server I always got "permission denied" After reading some forums I founded that disabling selinux It works. My question is .. What is the proper way to achieve snmpd executing some commands ? In my case it is working now but ... Im not sure if disabling selinux is the best way.
Disabling SELinux is not ideal.
Might try sifting through some of this info: [0] http://serverfault.com/questions/517893/configure-selinux-to-allow-snmpd-to-...

Though that bug was fixed in 6.2 according to the info at URL [4]. You're using C6.7 and not 6.6 or earlier, right?
