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. William R.
