snmpd 5.7.3 under FreeBSD 10.2 does not reply to SNMP requests

Hi,

for some reason I thought that bsnmpd configuration file is compatible
with Net-SNMP snmpd. While the Net-SNMP snmpd did not complain about
configuration file syntax(even if I started it with "snmpd -DALL -f -C
-c /etc/snmpd.config"), then it did not reply to SNMP requests.

regards,
Martin

Hi,
I compiled Net-SNMP snmpd version 5.7.3 under FreeBSD 10.2. When I
start the snmpd with "snmpd -f -C -c /etc/snmpd.config" command, then
USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS
root snmpd 29916 8 udp4 *:161 *:*
root sendmail 553 3 tcp4 127.0.0.1:25 *:*
root sshd 550 4 tcp4 *:22 *:*
root syslogd 359 7 udp4 *:514 *:*
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
29916 0 S+ 0:00.61 snmpd -f -C -c /etc/snmpd.config
However, if I snmpwalk this host, then it does not reply to SNMP
location := "Room 200"

snmpEnableAuthenTraps = 2
begemotSnmpdModulePath."mibII" = "/usr/lib/snmp_mibII.so"
If I use this very same configuration file with bsnmpd("bsnmpd -d -c
/etc/snmpd.config"), then host does reply to SNMP queries.
What might cause such behavior? Please let me know if additional
information is needed.
thanks,
Martin
