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.
Regards. Leandro.

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-... [1] https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2012-May/126415.html [2] https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2012-May/126455.html [3] https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2012-May/126463.html [4] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=822480
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?
