Hi Dave, My apologies if my ignorance was showing in my previous message regarding 'make install' should do it all. With fresh eyes in the morning and your very detailed reply, the reasoning for it, it is certainly understandable; though perhaps some information along these lines should be listed in the install read-me. This would assist relative new users of NetSNMP to get it right without needing to ask the forum the same questions. I certainly appreciate your patience.
So, to answer your question, yes, I am using the Debian (Lenny) flavor of Linux. I've downloaded and compiled NetSNMP source 5.6.1 for use on this server. As mentioned, when using the apt-get copy of init.d the service is starting normally on boot so it does appear my installation issues are over. Certainly a good learning curve, much better than always relying on apt-get to do the hard yards for me. I'll take a look at that cache setting now. Again, thanks for pointing this out. Your help has been invaluable! Cheers. Steve.
