[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#605769: unknown monitor OID

[Brian May]

Package: snmpd
Version: 5.4.3~dfsg-1

Whenever I try to restart snmpd I get a list of errors (see below). I
don't know if these errors are fatal or not.

It is also says these errors occur on line 143 of snmpd.conf, which is
"defaultMonitors yes".

Seems to suggest to me that maybe the snmpd with the default
configuration is broken without the non-free MIBs. I tried to find
where these OIDs are referenced from but unfortunately failed.

Side note, the real error I am attempting to diagnose is:

Dec  3 09:41:58 crackshell snmpd[4773]: Warning: no access control
information configured.#012  (Config search path:
/etc/snmp:/usr/share/snmp:/usr/lib/snmp:/root/.snmp)#012  It's
unlikely this agent can serve any useful purpose in this state.#012
Run "snmpconf -g basic_setup" to help you configure the snmpd.conf
file for this agent.

Not sure if this is a result of the above or not, in any case I am
using the default snmpd.conf file that as far as I can tell does have
access control information configured.
