agentx problem while starting as service

[amber.gupta]

Hi All, I am using RHEL 4 that comes with net-snmp5.1.2 version. I am trying to enable agentx support for snmpd daemon using following procedure   1- In /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf I add following line master agentx   2- Then I run following command to start snmpd daemon /sbin/service snmpd start   At this moment, snmpd  terminates on querying status using /sbin/service snmpd status  , it tells tha snmpd has subsys locked.   When I remove above mentioned line form snmpd.conf file , agent starts without any errors.   Then I tried to comile and install net-snmp5.1.2 code separately using standard method described in  README files , replaced generated /usr/local/sbin/snmpd to /usr/sbin/snmpd  and retained the snmpd init script in /etc/init.d directory . Now strangely even with agentx support deamon comes up fine.   It is problem with spec file that is being used to create package? What is the solution?   Regards Amber
