Re: [IM-Talk] OS X 10.4: Has anyone made a launchd file for (net-)snmpd?

[William W. Fisher]

The following file seems to work. The .plist needs to launch snmpd with the -f flag to keep it from "daemonizing".

com.dartware.snmpd.plist
Description: Binary data

Also, don't forget to open a port in the firewall (UDP 161).

After putting the .plist file into the /Library/LaunchDaemons directory, you should make sure it is owned by root and not writable by anyone. Then type "sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.dartware.snmpd.plist" There's also an SNMPSERVER entry in /etc/hostconfig. I don't know what that does; maybe it only does something on OSX server?

Hi All,

I was wondering if any of you have made a launchd .plist for snmpd under 10.4? I would love to have the deamon start up by it self, using the new launchd system under Tiger. My efforts so far, does not have it working... :-( only if I sudu snmpd to run in the cli...
