Hi, I'm only very new to this list and to SNMP too, but I think I can see what's going on so I'll try and help.
> "snmpd -f -Le -d" ==> gives the following error. > > "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 The error message tells you exactly what the problem is. As you know, when you query an SNMP agent, you need to provide a community string in order for it to respond to your query. If you have not set up any access control in your snmpd.conf file, then it will not respond to any queries. This is of course pretty pointless. You'll need to setup some communities in your snmpd.conf file. If you're absolutely sure that you have set up access control, then that probably means snmpd can't find your config file or that there's a syntax error in it. > for this agent. [init_smux] bind failed: Address already in use > Error opening specified endpoint "udp:161" > Server Exiting with code 1" snmpd is already running and listening on udp:161 (as you proved with your ps command). If snmpd is already running, you cannot start a second instance of it because something is already listening on that port, so it can't bind to it.
