You can try creating a /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file with only this line in it: rocommunity public 192.168.1.0/24 If you want, change "public" to a (secret) community name you want, and change the IP range to the IP range you want to allow to query your server via SNMP. (Note that localhost is not included there, so include another line for 127.0.0.0/8 if you want queries from localhost.) This will expose the whole MIB to any host on that IP range using that community name, and it is a good starting point for your configuration. This should be enough to get you started. However, this is a very permissive configuration (although it doesn't allow writes which could be dangerous in terms of allowing other hosts to change settings on your host). It's OK for me, but it might not be considering your security policies. If you need something more restrictive than that, read the snmpd.conf manual page very carefully to establish what exactly you need. HTH, Filipe
