How do I use AgentX++'s subagent example with snmpd (UCD-SNMPimplementation)?

[Goh, Betty]

Hi Frank,

Yes, the subagent is running. It keeps reflecting back these messages:
20021101.15:15:01 1115: (5)INFO    : AgentXSlave: no request within (milli
seconds): (20000)
20021101.15:15:01 1115: (3)EVENT   : AgentX: sending agentx pdu
(sd)(type)(sid)(tid)(pid)(err))(errind): (5), (13), (5), (119), (137), (0),
(0)

I went to the /var/agentx directory and saw that the access rights are as
follows:

drwx------ 2 root root   4096   Nov 1 15:01 agentx

inside agentx directory
srwxr-xr-x 1 root root   0      Nov 1 15:01 master
srwxr-xr-x 1 root root   0      Nov 1 15:02 subagent13115

The date and time of both these files are updated when I run the commands
for snmpd and subagent.

I'm running all these as root. What should be the owner and access rights
for the master file in /var/agentx directory?

Thanks!

regards,
Betty

Hi Betty,

I saw your post on com.protocols.snmp. Did you get the
AgentX++ subagent running?

You will need to create /var/agentx/master with an
appropriate owner and access rights.

(May be its easier to run AgentX over TCP for the first
attempt.)

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Frank
