You're right, Robert. The agent is running as an unprivileged user. The snmpd.conf file was initially only R/W by the "root" user, and no other users or groups had any privileges.
To start the agent, I run the following init script from the command line: sudo /etc/init.d/snmpd start Even though I have to invoke the script itself as "root", the application itself is not run as root. Thus, it did not have permission to read the snmpd.conf file with permissions of rw------- owned by the root user. --Todd SwRI ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
