Well if the subagent can't connect to the master - that would
tend to explain why the master isn't receiving alarms from it!

So the master agent isn't reading in any configuration file?
Which means:

a) It won't accept any incoming requests
b) It won't try to run as an AgentX master

??

Not really.
You're telling the master agent to do nothing at all, and that's
exactly what's happening. Things look to be working correctly.


A more usual configuration would be to have an snmpd.conf file
containing something like

rocommunity public
master agentx
agentXSocket tcp:127.0.0.1:705

and run the master agent using that.
This would at least give the subagent a fighting chance
of having something to connect to.
