From snmpd.conf man page:
Also, you might consider looking into the snmpconf application (perl script) which can help you build an snmpd.conf file by prompting you for information. You should try it. Really. Go ahead. Right now. Run snmpconf -g basic_setup to get you started.
Say what you want about the dry writing--I still love man pages.
I learned something very important today: Regardless of how smart I think I am, or how smart I think I need other people to think I am, I don't have to prove anything.
I tried to install a programmable thermostat in our apartment, and I've failed to make it work properly. This doesn't mean I'm not smart, it just means I don't have any HVAC training. I'm not expected to know how to install a heat pump thermostat any more than someone else is expected to know how to install a video card. Neither is a particularly difficult task as long as everything goes well, but both can be very frustrating to an amateur if everything doesn't.
I've decided to stop before I break it, and consult the advice of someone who knows--the exact advice I give to people who try (and fail) to properly install their own video cards. In the wise words of Stuart Smalley: "...and that's okay."
