1) go to that directory an execute the agent like this:

# ./snmpd -f -Lo

-f: the agent does not fork() away from the tty
-Lo: the agent logs its activity to stdout

check to see if it prints any messages related to the config files....


           I tried that and it gives the following message


Error opening specified endpoint " "
Server Exiting with code 1




2) do a # ls -la /etc/snmp/ to see if the snmpd.conf is there


    the snmpd.conf file is present in /usr/local/share/snmp/

With thanks and Regards
