Hi Greeting:
I encountered the following several error messages while I tried to run snmpd
in test mode and run the snmpconf command to create the snmpd.conf file.
###################################################
shell> ./snmpd -f -L -d -p 9999
Warning: no access control information configured.
It's unlikely this agent can serve any useful purpose in this state.
Run "snmpconf -g basic_setup" to help you configure the snmpd.conf file for this
agent.
Error opening specified endpoint "udp:161"
Server Exiting with code 1
###################################################
I found one snmpd.conf from another system - I don't know who created or
placed that file. It could be copied from some where because I had the same problem of
running hte snmpconf -g basic_setup
###################################################
shell> /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpconf/snmpd.conf$ snmpconf -g basic_setup
Not enough arguments for mkdir at /usr/local/bin/snmpconf line 174, near
""$ENV{HOME}/.snmp")"
Execution of /usr/local/bin/snmpconf aborted due to compilation errors.

I ran the snmpd in testng mode again. I got the following message

If you had encountered the same problems before and had solution I'd
appreciate you can share me your solution. I also like to know what the error message
mean in "error opening endpoint "udp:161". The command line option of the snmpd
testing mode was exactly copied from the manual page of net-snmp web tutorial. My
net-snmp version is 5.1.1.
Thanks a lot!
Jim
