Hi,

My server's snmp service are not running. When I give command like service snmpd start its starting successfully but when I check service snmp stats its saw like this "snmpd dead but subsys locked".

I have remove the cat /var/lock/subsys/snmpd file but then also its not running.
There is nothing came in log file /var/log/messages and even /var/log/snmp.

My Server OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga)
Kernel Version: 2.6.18-53.el5
SNMP Version:
net-snmp-libs-5.3.1-19.el5
net-snmp-utils-5.3.1-14.el5
net-snmp-5.3.1-14.el5


Can any one help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks & Regards,
Jay Choksi

everything looks in ordeer.
has this ever worked??
how about re-installing? not the ideal solution, but worth a try?
otherwise run an strace and output to a file for analysis.

Did you check if there is a zombie left behind from your earlier efforts of trying to get snmpd started?
Basically try `ps -aef | grep snmp` and see if there's no process by that name running. I know this is an obvious step - but worth reminding.

Yes I have check that there is no zombie process related to SNMP.

centosboy

what about the result of strace??
