This is on Centos 7 with Installed Packages net-snmp.x86_64 1:5.7.2-24.el7_2.1 @base
I have this package on two servers on the same subnet. On 10.0.0.224 (let's call it 'alpha', because that's it's hostname) I run: [root@alpha ~]# net-snmp-create-v3-user Enter a SNMPv3 user name to create: nagios Enter authentication pass-phrase: foobarski Enter encryption pass-phrase: [press return to reuse the authentication pass-phrase] adding the following line to /var/lib/net-snmp/snmpd.conf: createUser nagios MD5 "foobarski" DES adding the following line to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: rwuser nagios [root@alpha ~]# Then I start snmpd with [root@alpha ~]# snmpd -LEd -f -d -a NET-SNMP version 5.7.2 This should log to standard error, anything debug or better, without detaching. From 10.0.0.244 I run snmpget -v3 -u nagios -a MD5 -A foobarski -l authPriv -x DES -X foobarski 10.0.0.224 system.sysUpTime.0 Over in another window on Alpha I am running tcpdump and I see the packets coming in. 07:36:49.913605 IP 10.0.0.244.38890 > alpha.snmp: F=r U= E= C= GetRequest(14) 07:36:50.914888 IP 10.0.0.244.38890 > alpha.snmp: F=r U= E= C= GetRequest(14) 07:36:51.916270 IP 10.0.0.244.38890 > alpha.snmp: F=r U= E= C= GetRequest(14) 07:36:52.917526 IP 10.0.0.244.38890 > alpha.snmp: F=r U= E= C= GetRequest(14) 07:36:53.918674 IP 10.0.0.244.38890 > alpha.snmp: F=r U= E= C= GetRequest(14) 07:36:54.919985 IP 10.0.0.244.38890 > alpha.snmp: F=r U= E= C= GetRequest(14) ^C snmpd stands mute. It does not log to stderror, beyond logging it's signon, and it does not respond to the packets. The config files were exactly as delivered, but for what net-snmp-create-v3-user added. Later, I added agentAddress udp:161 with no change. I'm stumped. In my last job I had over 100 servers that had been set up according to this process. They were, however, all centos 6 running 1:5.5-57.el6_8.1 Did something change?
