Topic: SNMP Error

[steve w]

Greetings,

I just finished attempting an install of MRTG, and seem to be having the following SNMP error. When I type "/etc/init.d/snmpd status" it always tells me snmpd dead by subsys locked. When I delete the lock and attempt to start the snmpd, it gives me the same message. I'm running SME 6.0 final. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Funny, i got the same today. Installed MRTG a week ago, no probs.

It is able to read the SNMP string but does not get a return value from 127.0.0.1:161. Somethings blocking it.

Now it's gone. Monitors as like nothing happend.

Well,

I decided I would make a posting here just to say how I resolved the problem, for people in the future.

To get rid of the locked state, you need to erase your existing snmpd.conf file, but be careful, you may be removing the settings that something you're running requires (like MRTG).

shell> rm /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
then remove the lock itself
shell> rm /var/lock/subsys/snmpd
then restart snmp
shell> service snmpd restart
to confirm it's running use this command:
shell> service snmpd status
