[SoCoSA/discuss] snmpd

[Eric Eisenhart]

Sean,

How 'bout you share your snmpd.conf with us?  It's difficult to  
speculate on configuration problems blind.

No need to include all the comments, though...  The output of  
something like this will do:
egrep -v '^($|#)' /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
(you'll want to replace the community string with a "safe" version,  
probably)

But, from what you've described, I'm guessing that your "com2sec" line  
has "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" in the third field, limiting access to  
only the localhost.   Try duplicating that line and replacing  
"localhost" with the netmask for your local network ("192.168.0.0/24"  
or something like that).
