Description jbou 2000-04-12 15:35:17 UTC 
If you edit the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file to activate the access ej:

com2sec local     localhost       public
com2sec mynetwork 200.33.188.0/24      public
group MyROGroup  any        local
group MyROGroup  any        mynetwork
view all    included  .1                               80
access MyROGroup ""      any       noauth    0      all    none   none

Then if you start the daemon with /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd start
it starts and dies inmediately, if you start the daemon manualy
/usr/sbin/snmpd it starts and works as expected, I dont know if is
a problem of the pakage or a problem in the function daemon of the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions file called by the init script.
Comment 1 Phil Knirsch 2001-06-15 17:15:20 UTC 
OK, the commented examples seem to be a little wrong in the snmpd.conf file.
Here is a correct version which will work with the initscript startup (it seems
as if the daemon script kills the process if it returns a none 0 exit code,
which snmpd obviously and unfortunatelly does if it encounters errors in the
config file(:

com2sec local     localhost       public
com2sec mynetwork 200.33.188.0/24      public
group MyROGroup  usm        local
group MyROGroup  usm        mynetwork
view all    included  .1                               80
access MyROGroup ""      any       noauth    exact      all    none   none


Read ya, Phil
