I do not know how to do this: I tried: ./snmpd -f -Le -x 22222 But I get the same error. Can you give me an example of how to specify a different port? Also, I am not sure if part of the problem is that because I am not starting it up as root - the program fails because it can not write out the config file to: /var/net-snmp/snmp.conf (as it would not have permissions to do this). My problem is that I need to run the subagent as non root, and I am under the impression that in order to run the subagent as non root the master agent has to also run as non root.
