Hi Dave,
Thanks for the pointer. I created the link in response to an earlier
reply from someone suggesting me to do so.
I killed the dead process and ran the command you mentioned. It began
execution, so from another SSH session, I tried SNMPwalking to test it,
but it timed out, so I stopped the command and this was the only output
I got from it:
wcs001:~# snmpd -f -Le
Turning on AgentX master support.
NET-SNMP version 5.6.1
^CReceived TERM or STOP signal... shutting down...
wcs001:~#
It seems as if somehow, someway, the installation's been messed up. I
would have thought the setup of the snmp service would have been done by
the 'make install'. I've followed the instructions very carefully as
well as Ashwin's additional instructions but still no joy.
Thanks for your help.
Steve.
