Hi Bill The main problem was, it wasn't even installed on my box - it must have had a brainfart during one of the updates, and only did half a job on the install, as snmpd didn't even exist. Trying "conary update net-snmp" and "conary updateall" made no difference, no new troves found. A nose around the conary options gave me "conary sync net-snmp", and it is now up and running.
I've got a basic conf file going, will have a nose through yours for any more ideas.

You'll need to modify the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file with something like the following (it's taken from my system): # Please see /usr/share/doc/packages/net-snmp/EXAMPLE.conf for a # more complete example and snmpd.conf(5). # # Writing is disabled by default for security reasons. If you'd like # to enable it uncomment the rwcommunity line and change the community # name to something nominally secure (keeping in mind that this is # transmitted in clear text). # don't use ' < > in strings for syslocation or syscontact # Note that if you define the following here you won't be able to change # them with snmpset ## syslocation Server Room ## syscontact Sysadmin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) # These really aren't meant for production use. They include all MIBS # and can use considerable resources. See snmpd.conf(5) for information # on setting up groups and limiting MIBS. ## rocommunity public 127.0.0.1 # rwcommunity mysecret 127.0.0.1 # # Changed info 2007-03-22 ############################################################################ ### # # snmpd.conf: # An example configuration file for configuring the ucd-snmp snmpd agent. # ############################################################################ ### # # This file is intended to only be as a starting point. Many more # configuration directives exist than are mentioned in this file. For # full details, see the snmpd.conf(5) manual page. # # All lines beginning with a '#' are comments and are intended for you # to read. All other lines are configuration commands for the agent. ############################################################################ ### # Access Control ############################################################################ ### # As shipped, the snmpd demon will only respond to queries on the # system mib group until this file is replaced or modified for # security purposes. Examples are shown below about how to increase the # level of access. # By far, the most common question I get about the agent is "why won't # it work?", when really it should be "how do I configure the agent to # allow me to access it?" # # By default, the agent responds to the "public" community for read # only access, if run out of the box without any configuration file in # place. The following examples show you other ways of configuring # the agent so that you can change the community names, and give # yourself write access to the mib tree as well. # # For more information, read the FAQ as well as the snmpd.conf(5) # manual page. #### # First, map the community name "public" into a "security name" # sec.name source community # com2sec local 127.0.0.1/32 public com2sec local 192.168.1.0/24 public #### # Second, map the security name into a group name: # groupName securityModel securityName group MyROGroup v1 local group MyROGroup v2c local group MyROGroup usm local #### # Third, create a view for us to let the group have rights to: # Make at least snmpwalk -v 1 localhost -c public system fast again. # name incl/excl subtree mask(optional) view all included .1 80 access MyROGroup "" any noauth exact all none none # Allow Systems Management Data Engine SNMP to connect to snmpd using SMUX # smuxpeer .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1 Just add the above to the beginning of the file and save it. Keep a seperate copy of the original if you like. You can then set the snmpd daemon to start at boot with the following: 'chkconfig --level 345 snmpd on' To manually start it use: /etc/init.d/snmpd start and as a quick check it's working run: snmpwalk -c public -v 1 localhost .1 - that'll produce a ton of output. :) You should then be able to monitor the box from another server with whatever tools you choose. You may need to tweak the snmpd.conf files for the details you want but that should get you started.

Having never used net-snmp before, it's not that simple.

Ideally I'd like to be able to query and have traps sent, but at the moment, anything will do. Any help would be much appreciated.
