The AgentX master agent is up and running, but I passed a configuration
file (snmpd.conf) with line=20

AgentXSocket myserver:5000=20

If I remove this line from the conf file, I get the message:=20

Warning: Couldn't open a master agentx socket to listen on
(/var/agentx/master): Unknown host (/var/agentx/master) (Address =
already
in use)

So, I tried to pass a conf file to the subagent, putting the same line=20
AgentXSocket myserver:5000=20
But it doesn't work.=20

Now questions are:=20
Can I tell the subagent to read a conf file?=20
Or, in which way, I can force the subagent to connect on another port?=20

Thank you very much.=20

Is the AgentX master agent running on the system?=20
Does this file exist?=20

If so, what are the ownership and permissions?=20
How are you starting your subagent (e.g. who is it running as)?=20

The AgentX master agent is up and running, but I =
passed a configuration file (snmpd.conf) with line 


AgentXSocket myserver:5000


If I remove this line from the conf file, I get the =
message:


Warning: Couldn't open a master agentx socket to =
listen on (/var/agentx/master): Unknown host (/var/agentx/master) =
(Address already in use)

So, I tried to pass a conf file to the subagent, =
putting the same line
 AgentXSocket myserver:5000
 But it doesn't work.


Now questions are:
 Can I tell the subagent to read a conf file?
 Or, in which way, I can force the subagent to =
connect on another port?

 

Thank you very much.

Is the AgentX master agent running on the =
system?
 Does this file exist?


If so, what are the ownership and permissions?
 How are you starting your subagent (e.g. who is it =
running as)?
