snmp problem, regarding snmpwalk, please help


[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Hello, have a problem with SNMP, was wondering if any had a similar problem or just knows the solution.

I had set up the snmp daemon before on fedora 10 and CentOS. I have arch linux on my laptop ( i love arch for my personal distro outside of work, but am still kinda noob at it. as I became an Arch user about a month ago)


Any help from more experienced linux users would be greatly appreciated.

So anyways, I installed net-snmp and its dependencies via arch's package management tool; Pacman -S net-snmp. I ran snmpconf -r none -g basic_setup and followed the directions (like i have in the past) at http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/tutoria … snmpd.html


but when I try:

snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost ..i get the following response: 'Timeout: No Response from localhost'
I have snmpd running, and checked via ps ax | grep snmp.


Code:
 woonasty ~  $  snmpd -Dread_config -H 2>&1 | grep "config path" | sort -u

read_config:  config path used for agentx:/etc/snmp:/usr/share/snmp:/usr/lib/snmp:/home/woonasty/.snmp (persistent path:/var/net-snmp)
read_config:  config path used for agentx:/var/net-snmp (persistent path:/var/net-snmp)
read_config:  config path used for snmp:/etc/snmp:/usr/share/snmp:/usr/lib/snmp:/home/woonasty/.snmp (persistent path:/var/net-snmp)
read_config:  config path used for snmp:/var/net-snmp (persistent path:/var/net-snmp)
read_config:  config path used for snmpd:/etc/snmp:/usr/share/snmp:/usr/lib/snmp:/home/woonasty/.snmp (persistent path:/var/net-snmp)
read_config:  config path used for snmpd:/var/net-snmp (persistent path:/var/net-snmp)
running snmpd -Dread_config -H 2>&1 | grep "Reading" | sort -u ..gave me this:

Code:
woonasty /etc/snmp  $  snmpd -Dread_config -H 2>&1 | grep "Reading" | sort -u
read_config: Reading configuration /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
/etc/hosts.allow is empty
/etc/hosts.deny is empty
and i did a iptables -F

also for the /etc/hosts file I have:


Code:
woonasty /etc  $  uname -a
Linux darkstar 2.6.29-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 20 07:06:02 UTC 2009 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
woonasty /etc  $  cat /etc/hosts
#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#

#<ip-address>    <hostname.domain.org>    <hostname>
127.0.0.1        localhost.localdomain     localhost darkstar

# End of file
woonasty /etc  $
Once again, any help is greatly greatly greatly appreciated and will be remembered, Thanks all for your time!

an strace might tell you where it is failing

anyway, does your community string match that of the one in snmpd.conf?
errm...also...what clues are in the log files?
i am a firm believer of check the relevant log files first
