Centos 6.8 snmp wont start on boot

Hi all,

So for the past 3 days I have been trying to get snmpd to auto start at boot time on an old centos machine.

I installed it and added the following line to the bottom of /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

Quote:

rocommunity public

I then restarted the daemon

Quote:

service snmpd restart

Added the service to start at boot and confirmed by listing it

Quote:

chkconfig snmpd on

Quote:

chkconfig --list |grep snmpd

This shows that runlevel 2,3,4,5 are on

I then ran the snmpwalk test

Quote:

snmpwalk -c public -v2c <MY MACHINE IP ADDR>

This then gives me pages and pages of info

I know that snmp is working as I've also got another server which runs Zabbix 4.4 and this host is configured on it and is monitoring perfectly.

But I just cannot get the service to auto start??? It is killing.

Any ideas please? What other steps have I missed out here? I know I could try creating my own startup script but it already has all start and kill scripts in the rc.d dir.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
