So I checked what was wrong and snmpd was not running, so I assumed my subagent was killing it. Now I realize that no one really dies. Actually it looks like my subagent provoked a deadlock with master agentx. So it is there waiting to send the final traps while master agent x is there waiting for something and not responding anyone. And they go like that forever. snmptrapd cannot reconnect until I kill my subagent. After that snmptrapd is able to connect to master agentx again and master agentx debug starts spitting those FAILED lines beggining with one FAILED - 104 and then a lot of FAILED - 32 (with broken pipes). snmptrapd also displays some more traps after I kill my subagent.
I said (at least tried to) earlier but I think I was not clear enough. And perhaps not enough now too, but I 'm clueless about what matters and what doesn't. And I'm giving symptons like: "All I know is that it hurts inside my belly." > > Dave -- Salsa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
