I have been thrown from the frying pan into the fire. Due to a recent
reduction in force, I have been tasked to pick up our SNMP work which I
have no background or experience with. Initially it was done my a
subcontractor for RedHat 9 (which worked fine). We have now moved to
Monta Vista and I am trying to build it for that environment. After a
week, I decided to ask for help:
=20
I believe I have built the snmpd and its associated libraries:
=20
1. make clean
[this is placed in a bash script]
2. ./configure --exec-prefix=3D"/velSNMP/exe-files" \
--prefix=3D"/velSNMP/install-files" \
--with-defaults --with-sys-contact=3D"Unknown" \
--with-mib-modules=3D"host disman/event-mib smux
mapping/cardMappingTable mapping/nodeMappingTable" \
--with-mibdirs=3D"/usr/local/carrius/SnmpAgent/MIBs" \
--with-sysconfdir=3D"/etc/net-snmp" \
--with-libwrap=3D"/usr/lib" \
--enable-shared
3. make all
4. make install
=20
However, when we start the software up and query the daemon, we get the
following response (We are using the MG-Soft MIB Browser):
Remote address: 192.168.145.38 port: 161 transport: IP/UDP
Local address: 192.168.160.15 port: 2139 transport: IP/UDP
Protocol version: SNMPv1
Operation: Get
Request binding:
1: sysDescr.0 (null) null

Response binding:
Error: No such name
Error index: 1
1: sysDescr.0 (null) null

In addition, we are getting the following errors in the
/var/log/snmpd.log file:

/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 1: Warning: Unknown token: master.
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 2: Warning: Unknown token: rwcommunity.
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 3: Warning: Unknown token: AgentxTimeout.

/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 12: Warning: Unknown token: access.
noauth exact inph_MIB inph_MIB inph_MIB: No such file or directory

We appreciate any help,
Thanks,
