This shows that the snmp service is *only* bound to the local host interface (127.0.0.1), i.e. it won't respond to requests coming in on another interface. I believe that in Debian the file that controls this is /etc/defaults/snmpd. The standard SNMPDOPTS options restrict snmpd to the local host so you will need to change them. My only reference has already been "fixed" but IIRC that it has localhost prepended to the port spec to restrict it. Seems fairly above board. Now, lets look at the Mac: > > COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME > snmpd 221 root 6u IPv4 0x3a92750 0t0 UDP *:snmp This is not bound to any interface, so will respond to requests on all interfaces. A single instance of snmpd is resident on both of them, but the variables > listed are obviously different.
