Cool, that should have worked... what I didn't want to say in my first
post was - "did you restart the SNMP daemon" because some might take
offense at such an elementary suggestion...
I only have experience of the UCD SNMP implementation on Solaris, but
here goes with some generic ideas:
- search for all files with snmp in them, I would use "find / -print |
grep snmp" you might have a better solution. Check for conf files in
places you haven't modified.
- you might have been on the right track with your idea about multiple
daemons, try "ps -ef | grep snmp" (for SysV style unix) or "ps ax | grep
snmp" (for BSD style).
- for SysV unices check the init scripts to see if the conf file is hard
coded.
- check the man page for other / default conf files?!?
Hope this helps...
Dave.
