As far as I can see, the snmpd that Apple is shipping simply doesn't run on Intel Macs/XServers.  Is that really possible?

I've seen this same failure on client systems running 10.4.8, 10.4.7, and on a spiffy new XServer (running 10.4.8).  snmpd works fine on G5 systems.

ANY pointers to what's going on here would be GREATLY appreciated...

1) Run sudo snmpconf –i, so that snmp and snmpd are properly configured.
2) the –C option says “don’t use any config files except what’s specified by –c, but you don’t have a –c option
3) Use sudo SystemStarter start SNMP since SNMP is in /System/Library/Startupitems.

Thanks for trying, but I don't believe this is a simple configuration problem.  I know all about snmpconf, snmpd.conf, and snmpd's options...  I used "-C" to demonstrate that this problem does not depend on the particular config file you use.

I would *love* to hear word from *anyone* that they are running snmpd on an Intel mac...


Does anyone know anything about this particular error?  The /dev/kmem (and libkvm) interface to kernel memory appears to be missing from MacOS 10.4.x on Intel, and net-snmp (versions 5.2.x and 5.3.x) seem to depend heavily on it.  (To further complicate matters, net-snmp version 5.4.x doesn't compile on MacOS without loading some kernel include files from darwin that I haven't identified yet...)

Thanks!
