No - that's wrong.
The -x option is used to specify an *AgentX* socket.
So the agent is now listening for AgentX connections
on the standard SNMP port, and listening for SNMP
connections on the named socket /tmp/snmp.skt
This won't work.

That's because it's a UDP-based server, not TCP.
Though you've started it in a very strange manner (see above)

Try the following:
- Shut down the agent
- Run "netstat -ultmp"
Is there *anything* listed with port "161" ?
If so, then stop.
- Run "snmpd -f -Lo -c /path/to/your/snmpd.conf"
That worked and it is responding to SNMP commands.
Thanks a Lot.
