[Voyage-linux] SNMP won't work

[Edwin Whitelaw]

There are two places you need to modify, /etc/default/snmpd and 
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.

Edit the line

SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid 127.0.0.1'

to remove the localhost IP at the end.  You can either have no IP there 
to allow access from anywhere or you can put a specific IP to restrict 
to a certain address.

Also edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf to allow access and set the community 
password, in the line below it's set to the default of "public".  You 
can also allow readwrite permissions similarly.

com2sec readonly  <ip address of remote snmp host>  public

I edit this file by hand but you can run the snmpconf utility to change 
it's settings as well.

HTH,

Edwin
