Robert Thank you for your help. About this problem, I've got an answer from Taylor Ben 3 days ago. He suggested me to replace the apt-get installed snmpd (/usr/sbin/snmpd) with my compiled snmpd. And it worked.
By the way, if I remove apt-get installed snmpd, it also works. /snmp.me/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -c /snmp.me/etc/snmpd.conf Your solution looks like work also, I will test it on another virtual machine. > --prefix=/usr/local/test \ > --with-persistent-directory=/usr/local/test/var/net-snmp \ > --with-logfile=/usr/local/test/var/log/snmpd.log > Use the -C option to ignore the default configuration file Regards Yan -----Original Message----- From: NetSNMP Mailbox [mailto:net-snmp-m...@freesnmp.com] On Behalf Of Robert Story Sent: Wednesday, November 23, 2016 4:36 AM To: fx YAN BING <yan.b...@fujixerox.co.jp> Cc: net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net; yanbin...@outlook.com Subject: Re: start snmpd failed if using user-specific config file On Thu, 17 Nov 2016 07:20:04 +0000 fx wrote: FYB> PROBLEM: FYB> I downloaded the net-snmp 5.7.3 source, compiled and installed snmp FYB> on my Ubuntu 16.04.

If you are installing your own, I strongly recommend that you use prefixes to completely separate the two installations. e.g. --prefix=/usr/local/test \ --with-persistent-directory=/usr/local/test/var/net-snmp \ --with-logfile=/usr/local/test/var/log/snmpd.log FYB> Then, the problem comes again.

You need the -C option to ignore the default configuration file (or use --prefix during configure to change its path).
