Hi All,
First post here (despite frequenting this exelent resource) and I'm having a little trouble configuring snmpd under debian etch.
Ultimately im trying to get snmpd to poll the result of apcaccess (via a script) in order to report the status of a UPS over SNMP.
however I'm having trouble getting anything other than the default information from an snmpwalk.
I installed snmpd using aptitude
Code:
#aptitude install snmpd
and edited /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf as suggested
here.
then doing an snmp walk returns the following (my test box is called kryten)
Code:
kryten:/etc/apt# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost

Right, so all seems well. snmpd is working and responing.
I then edited /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and uncommented the test exec:
Code:
# a simple hello world
exec echotest /bin/echo hello world
# Run a shell script containing:
#
# #!/bin/sh
# echo hello world
# echo hi there
# exit 35
#
# Note: this has been specifically commented out to prevent
# accidental security holes due to someone else on your system writing
# a /tmp/shtest before you do. Uncomment to use it.
#
#exec shelltest /bin/sh /tmp/shtest
# Then,
# % snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8
so I want to check If thats worked before I try with my script.
Code:
kryten:/etc/snmp# /etc/init.d/snmpd restart
Restarting network management services: snmpd.
kryten:/etc/snmp# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8
End of MIB
kryten:/etc/snmp# snmpwalk -v 1 -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1
End of MIB
if I run a complete snmpwalk, I get the same output as I did before I edited snmp.conf
I've also tried adding a script to snmpd.conf with no luck.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I've never tried to configure snmpd before so I fully expect that i'm just doing something silly. It's almost like I'm editing the wrong conf file (if I rename the file and restart the daemon it doesn't complain) but I can't find another snmpd.conf.
Many thanks in advance
