Hi, Dave:
2) Is it a big deal that I removed /var/agentx/master?
No.
The socket itself ("master") should be removed automatically
when the agent shuts down. So it might be worth checking
that no other SNMP agent is currently running.
Alternatively, how do you shut down the agent?
*Please* don't tell me you use "kill -9"!
What's wrong with shutting down agent with "kill -9"? What does it
indicate?
I ask because currently my agent (a master agent, not a subagent)
can only
be shut down by "kill -9". It is launched with "-f -L -M -D" as a
thread on
RH by a main program which will then connect to the data source to
get data.
I'd like to know the impact of using "kill -9" and the correct way
of terminating
an agent.
Thanks.

3) How can I restore /var/agentx/master?
Just start the agent (as root).
As long as it's configured to run as an AgentX
master, it should create this directory/socket
automatically.
Do you have the line
master agentx
in your snmpd.conf file?
