Alright:

It seems that my problem with the Kenati OS port of
Net-SNMP is that the daemon produced for Kenati is
not opening the UDP port (161).  The Net-SNMP version
supplied with Kenati is 5.0.8, the daemon is running
on the target, I can walk the daemon on the target
from the target but, I cannot walk the daemon on the
target from outside of the target; i.e. via a MIB
browser that is executing on a different computer,
with the request sent over ethernet.

It has been suggested by others that we may have a
problem with a firewall, and that option is being
reviewed by another engineer.  Yet, perhaps someone
else has comments to offer, as to a possible reason
for this behavior.

I have used NMAP and NMAP -sU to view the port
mapping on the target (via ethernet mediated message),
and the response is that 161 is not open.  In the log
file /var/log/snmpd.log we have the message

  Error: Could not write to stats file

This message seems to occur only twice, both within
the file

  esc_util_funcs.c

once for function         WriteTCStats()

and once for function     writeIptablesRulesList()

Is it in any way possible that failure of being able
to write to these files would lead to the observed
problem: a closed UDP port?

Has any other user observed similar problems?

I have an environment consisting of three development
machines, two running RH9, one with Windows 2000 Pro,
and these all have agents running, RH9 with Net-SNMP
5.0.6, and Windows with the standard agent as supplied
by Microsoft, and NMAP of each of these reports port
161 to be open.  These three machines are connected,
with the target (a forth machine), one an isolated
network.
