Ok, so after a week trying i finally got it. First off all the
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf could just simple be (dunno exactly about all the
com2sec, trapsink etc keywords):
# sec.name source community
com2sec readonly default public
# sec.model sec.name
group MyROGroup v1 readonly
# incl/excl subtree mask
view all included .1 80
view system included .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system
# context sec.model sec.level match read write notif
access MyROGroup "" any noauth exact all none none
And then I found the problem, it was in the command line paramters for
smpd. These are 'hidden' in /etc/defaults/snmpd. I had modified these,
to take out the 127.0.0.1 bit, otherwise only local snmp queries are
answered. But by mistake I had also remved the - in front of smux,
causing smux to be loaded which caused my problems. So,
/etc/defaults/snmpd now reads:
[code]# This file controls the activity of snmpd and snmptrapd
# MIB directories. /usr/share/snmp/mibs is the default, but
# including it here avoids some strange problems.
export MIBDIRS=/usr/share/snmp/mibs
# snmpd control (yes means start daemon).
SNMPDRUN=yes
# snmpd options (use syslog, close stdin/out/err).
SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid'
# snmptrapd control (yes means start daemon). As of net-snmp version
# 5.0, master agentx support must be enabled in snmpd before snmptrapd
# can be run. See snmpd.conf(5) for how to do this.
TRAPDRUN=no
# snmptrapd options (use syslog).
TRAPDOPTS='-Lsd -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid'
[/code]
Which is nearly identical to the distributed version, expect for the
removed 127.0.0.1.
