Hi Don,
A couple of thoughts on this. You have stopped and started your SNMP agent
after any edits to /etc/snmpd.conf, haven't you?
The more likely problem is the changes to the SNMP agent code. The SNMP agent
is contained in bos.net.tcp.client and was broken between levels 4.3.3.10 and
4.3.3.20. From 4.3.3.21, the SNMP agent, by default, comes up in read-only
mode, regardless of how correct your community names are.
To fix this so that snmpd always comes up in read-write mode:
chssys -s snmpd -a "-U"
stopsrc -s snmpd
startsrc -s snmpd
To check the snmpd parameters in the odm, use:
odmget -q subsysname=snmpd SRCsubsys and look for cmdargs of "-U"
For a quick, non-permanent fix, you can restart the agent via:
startsrc -s snmpd -s "-U"
Cheers,
Jane
