How are you restarting the agent? As long as the agent is shut down cleanly, then it should save the new values (in /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf) and restore them when it starts up again. If you kill the agent abruptly (e.g. using "kill -9"), then it doesn't get a chance to save these values, so would revert to the default ones when it restarts. There again, if you kill processes using "kill -9", then you deserve all you get! :-) > I also tried programming by registering the oid for these fields (sysContact > and sysLocation), but I did not successfully registered it. That shouldn't be necessary - the existing code ought to do what you need.
