Hi, I can't connect to the SNMP master agent when running as non-root user. The sample subagent created by net-snmp-config --compile-subagent exits with the following message:
Warning: Failed to connect to the agentx master agent (/var/agentx/master): Unknown host (/var/agentx/master) (Permission denied) My /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf contains these lines: master agentx agentXSocket /var/agentx/master agentXPerms 777 777 Running `ls -l /var/agentx` yields: total 0 srwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Oct 30 13:22 master Looks good, doesn't it? Well, as my own user, the same command gives me: total 0 ?--------- ? ? ? ? ? /var/agentx/master I can't ls the socket directly, as it tells me "Permission denied". Why does this happen, if /var/agentx/master is supposed to have perms 777? I don't understand this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm running Net-SNMP version 5.3.2.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1. Best regards, Ulrich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
