SNMPD(8)

NAME
snmpd - cmu's snmp agent

SYNOPSIS
snmpd [-v] [-a]

DESCRIPTION
Snmpd should be run as a daemon in background. It is serving to your pleasure and answering snmp V1 and V2 requests.
Upon startup /etc/snmpd.conf is read (if it exists).
Successful set-requests of system.sysName, system.sysLocation and system.sysContact are stored in snmpd.conf(5) , if this files exists.
The daemon answers all V1 requests with the ``public'' communty string, except for host.hrSWRun* requests, for security reasons.

OPTIONS

-v  Be verbose upon startup.

-a  The sender of received packets are stores and looged via this option; I am afraid, you have to look at the source for more about.

ENVORONMENT
MIBFILE - complete filename of mib.txt (or copy to /etc/mib.txt).

FILES
/etc/snmpd.conf, /etc/party.conf, /etc/view.conf, /etc/context.conf, /etc/acl.conf - configuration files
If these files are unedited from installation, simple SNMP-V1 is provided.

SEE ALSO
snmp.conf(5), variables(5)

BUGS
Setting routing entries does not work (the cmu-code hits you hard).
