Is description of public indispensable ?

Hi,

Is description of public as a community name indispensable in snmpdx.acl?

By execution of "/etc/init.d/init.snmpdx start", my agent is started from snmpdx.

When deleting the following line in snmpdx.acl, it became impossible to start my agent.

"communities = public, private"

In spite of defining the community name for my agent, it becomes so.

The following messages will be displayed if snmpdx is executed in debug mode.

"community_check();bad community from XXXX"

(XXXX is the name of host where init.snmpdx is executed)

Is description of public indispensable ?

(When only private was deleted, my agent was started normally.)

Regards

Hi Staki,

In my tests with the snmpdemo agent, the sub agent started fine.

acl = {

{

access = read-write

managers = *

}

}

This test was done after removing the community line from the snmpdx.acl file under /etc/snmp/conf.

Have you tried setting the debug flag on the subagent and then seeing on why it is not starting up? In the yoursubagent.rsrc file add the options "-d 4" and then start via /etc/init.d/init.snmpdx start.

Are you removing the community line also in the yoursubagent.acl file tool? That may have to be checked.

Do let us know your feedback.

Regards
