Quick snmp question

Michael Barron — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 13:41:45 GMT

OK, I have to modify the /etc/snmpd.conf file to change the community strings. My question is, afterwards do I just have to bounce the daemon or do I have to restart all of the services under /sbin/init.d like SnmpHpunix?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I would restart all of the Snmp* services.

Thats what I was thinking, is that in lieu of restarting the snmpd? Is there a reread option for the snmpd to reread the snmpd.conf file, like there is for inetd.conf?

I would do as Patrick suggested. It is better to start the deamons using the scripts for snmp.

man snmpd would give you very good info reg. your question.

Also look the logfile for snmp /var/adm/snmpd.log

Exactly. It says no reread option:

Yes, no re-read configuration option available for snmpd like inetd so good choice is to recycle snmpd services.

ll /sbin/init.d/*Snmpd*

Cheers!!
