FreeBSD7.2 Install/Setup net-snmp Problem

D

Hey there Everyone,
Thanks for viewing my problem. I have been trying to setup the RRDTool using this howto http://silverwraith.com/papers/freebsd-snmp.php on my Freebsd7.2 box and doing /usr/local/etc/rc.d/snmpd start to start the server.

I experienced no problems until I actually tried to get snmp to get data using this command snmpwalk -v 1 -c <your community string> localhost.

For some reason I cannot get snmp to actually startup. I have followed exactly what this tutorial has said.

My /var/log/snmpd.log contains:

Code: 
nlist err: neither ip_defttl nor _ip_defttl found.
nlist err: neither tcpstat nor _tcpstat found.
nlist err: neither tcb nor _tcb found.
nlist err: neither icmpstat nor _icmpstat found.
nlist err: neither udpstat nor _udpstat found.
nlist err: neither udb nor _udb found.
getaddrinfo("127.0.0.1", NULL, ...): hostname nor servname provided, or not known
Error opening specified endpoint "127.0.0.1"
Server Exiting with code 1

I have tried this setup on 2 boxes and the same error everytime is the:

Code: 
getaddrinfo("127.0.0.1", NULL, ...): hostname nor servname provided, or not known
Error opening specified endpoint "127.0.0.1"
Server Exiting with code 1


Maybe someone knows what this all means.
Thanks

Make sure your lo0 (localhost) interface is up and running.
 
FreeBSD7.2 Install/Setup net-snmp Problem Continued

Hey there, thanks for your ideas. I am able to ping myself as localhost so my localhost interface does not seem to be the problem.

/etc/hosts
Code: 
::1                     localhost localhost.tester
127.0.0.1               localhost localhost.tester
10.0.64.245             Thor5.tester Thor5
10.0.64.245             Thor5.tester.
10.0.64.235             Thor6.tester Thor6
10.0.64.235             Thor6.tester.

Thor6 is another server. Thor5 is the box I am trying to get snmp to work. This box has 2 interfaces as well. One interface is the 10.0.64.245 and the other is 192.168.4.2.

I dont think having dual nics would screw up snmp and cause my problem. If you have any other ideas I would be happy for it. Thanks. I think I will try to reistall the software and see if that does anything.
