Hi,
SNMP is a great tool, but does exist a way in order to add a user specific OID (modifyng the tree)?
Ex.: Users logged (as a STRING for the user account)

Thanks

In squeeze the interface bindings are controlled via /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf not /etc/default/snmpd

# AGENT BEHAVIOUR
#

# Listen for connections from the local system only
agentAddress udp:127.0.0.1:161
# Listen for connections on all interfaces (both IPv4 *and* IPv6)
#agentAddress udp:161,udp6:[::1]:161

In newer versions of ubuntu snmpd is on localhost only, you have to modify /etc/default/snmpd and on the SNMPDOPTS parameter, remove the 127.0.0.1 parameter. If you use smux (like with nagios), also remove -smux.

doesnt work, I made both my configuration files exactly how you demonstrated and this is what I get
root@ubuntu:~# /etc/init.d/snmpd restart
* Restarting network management services: [ OK ]
root@ubuntu:~# snmpwalk -Os -c mycommunity -v 1 localhost system
Timeout: No Response from localhost
root@ubuntu:~#

Hi,

I’m looking to modify the snmpd.conf file so that I receive email notification when a printer toner is low

SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.18.1.1.8.1.1 = STRING: “The machine has determined that the Toner’s capacity is low. User intervention is required to replace the Toner to avoid an interruption of print service. Printing is available.

Any ideas how this might be achieved?

Thanks,
Johnny
