- Options name:

- USES:
- cpe libtool perl5 ssl
- pkg-message:
- For install:
- **** This port installs snmpd, header files and libraries but does not
start snmpd by default.
If you want to auto-start snmpd and snmptrapd, add the following to
/etc/rc.conf:
snmpd_enable="YES"
snmpd_flags="-a"
snmpd_conffile="/usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmpd.conf"
snmptrapd_enable="YES"
snmptrapd_flags="-a -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid"
**** You may also specify the following make variables:
NET_SNMP_SYS_CONTACT="zi@FreeBSD.org"
NET_SNMP_SYS_LOCATION="USA"
DEFAULT_SNMP_VERSION=3
NET_SNMP_MIB_MODULES="host smux mibII/mta_sendmail ucd-snmp/diskio"
NET_SNMP_LOGFILE=/var/log/snmpd.log
NET_SNMP_PERSISTENTDIR=/var/net-snmp
to define default values (or to override the defaults). To avoid being
prompted during the configuration process, you should (minimally) define
the first two variables. (NET_SNMP_SYS_*)
You may also define the following to avoid all interactive configuration:
BATCH="yes"
- If upgrading
- snmpd now drops privileges by default after initialization is completed.
Ensure that any extension commands defined in your snmpd.conf can be executed
by the snmpd user.
It is possible to start and run snmpd entirely as a non-root user with the
following steps:
1. Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf:
snmpd_user="snmpd"
snmpd_group="snmpd"
snmpd_pidfile="/var/net-snmp/snmpd.pid"
2. Configure the mac_portacl(4) kernel module:
a. Load mac_portacl.ko at boot time by adding the following line to
/etc/rc.conf:
kld_list="mac_portacl"
b. Configure the following sysctls in sysctl.conf(5):
net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh=0
security.mac.portacl.rules=gid:344:udp:161,gid:344:tcp:161,gid:344:tcp:199,gid:344:tcp:705
This allows snmpd to bind to these privileged ports without holding
special privileges.
3. Make sure that the snmpd user has read/write or read-only access to the
following:
RW - /var/log/snmpd.log
RW - /var/net-snmp/*
RO - /usr/local/share/snmp/*
Note that snmpd creates the /var/net-snmp directory upon its initial
startup, and this cannot be done by the snmpd user.
4. Ensure that any and all extension commands defined in snmpd.conf can be
executed by the snmpd user.
