Hi all,
i've a problem with snmpd.
I shoul like to enable a verbose log but if i use the -D option the daemon does not respond.
So i think i have to specify the TOKENS but i don't know how.
Or i can do it in another way?
Thanks

What info do you need? Have you checked /var/log/messages?

The problem is that if i specify the slapd to start with -D option, it don't respond to my snmpget request.

I'm looking for a way to enable a debug log of snmpd demon.
Thanks

By man snmpd i get:

-D[TOKEN[,...]]
Turn on debugging output for the given TOKEN(s). Without any
tokens specified, it defaults to printing all the tokens
(which is equivalent to the keyword "ALL"). You might want to
try ALL for extremely verbose output. Note: You can not put a
space between the -D flag and the listed TOKENs.

But i don't know what are and where i can find these tokens

Do a man on snmpd.conf - it goes on (at length) about tokens....

But have you tried -DALL (all I can see is that you mentioned -D caused the daemon not to respond).

Does anything appear in the snmpd.log at all?

Hi colin,
yes i try -DALL the demon is Up and writes a verbose log... But it does not respond to the queries snmpwalg and snmpget.

What does it do? Time out, give an error, or just sit there until you quit?

Timeout.
But it writes a very verbose log...

Can you post the snmpget query?

I'll see if I can replicate the problem.
