Hi Jonny,

Yes, I did the reboot. "getenforce" shows "disabled". The funny is that, issuing the start command it says "OK".

Even in the logs: Apr 10 12:12:44 localhost snmpd: snmpd startup succeeded Apr 10 12:12:44 localhost snmpd[6673]: NET-SNMP version 5.1.2

But still, there is no process running...

Any other tip? Thanks again.

Hello All,

Ive searched the arqchives, but didnt find anything like this.. Maybe im missing some trick here...

The problem: I've instaled snmpd and snmp-utils packages with yum. Im using and old simple .conf file, i've been using on my fedora 1 box, but when I try to start snmpd, it just says OK, (Starting snmpd..........[OK]), but the service dont work at all. I dont see any process running with "ps". Ive checked the logs, and found that it could be related to SE Linux and I tryed to disable it, but it still doesnt work. Im not using iptables localy, so, its not iptables related. Already tryed uninstall <> install.

Any trick here? Thanks a lot.

Gustavo.

BTW: Its currently working on my fedora1. This is the last thing I need to fix to upgrade.

How sure are you that selinux is disabled (my normal snmpd stuff also does not work with selinux).

After adjusting /etc/sysconfig/selinux (set SELINUX=disabled) you would need to reboot to make the change effect.

You can test with this command:

getenforce

If it says disabled or permissive, you should be OK.

If it says enforcing ... issue this command:

setenforce 0

Then look again with getenforce.

You still need to adjust /etc/sysconfig/selinux to make the changes last for a reboot.

Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Thanks Paul,

After using -f -Le, I got an error message, and googleing for it, I found that I got old net-snmp-libs. Ive updated the pkg, and its working.

Thanks all.

Have you tried launching snmpd in non-forking mode?

snmpd -f -Le

If that's not verbose enough, wrap it in strace and try again:

strace -o /tmp/snmpd.trace snmpd -f -Le

Try stopping it, then removing the lock file, then restarting it.

# service snmpd stop # rm /var/run/snmpd # service snmpd start

I've have it create a strange permission on the lock file before, which I removed and then just restarted.
