Thanks for the response Dave.
My problem was that I was not doing an fflush after I wrote the "PONG" to snmpd
in my C program. I didn't experience a problem when I was using "pass" because
when my program exited it automatically flushed the buffers.
I do have one more question. I noticed that my pass_persist program is not
launched until it is actually needed (to answer a request). After that it
keeps running. If it is killed snmpd will relaunch it (which is good). Is
there any way to make snmpd launch my pass_persist program when snmpd is
launched (to get the heavy lifting out of the way)?
I am running snmpd 5.2.4.
Thank you.
