Chapter 1:
Installing the SNMP daemon

Installation under NEXTSTEP 3.0 or later
		
If you are installing the daemon onto a system that has NeXT System Software Release 3.0 or later, be sure to first rename  the SNMP daemon shipped with NEXTSTEP 3.0, snmpd to another file  such as snmpd_3.0. 
	You need to comment out the following lines from /etc/rc:
	if [ -f /usr/etc/snmpd ]; then
	if /usr/etc/snmpd -N >/dev/console 2>&1; then
		(echo -n ' snmpd')	>/dev/console
	fi
fi
This change is required to ensure that the above script does not attempt to run the Ridgeback daemon upon booting as the startup parameters for the NeXT daemon are different from the Ridgeback daemon.

To Install snmpd:

1	Login as ªRoot.º This application must be installed and run as root!

2	Insert the SNMP daemon  floppy disk into the floppy-disk drive.  If the computer does not have a floppy-disk drive but another on the network does, insert the diskette in that drive and mount it on the machine on which you desire to install the daemon.

3	Find the file called SNMPagent.pkg in the Workspace Manager's File Viewer.

4	Double-click on the ªpkgº icon and then click the install button to start the Installer.  The Installer will install files in /private/usr/etc and /private/usr/local/bin.  It will also create the directory /private/usr/etc/snmp where a number of files will be installed.

5	After installing the package, double-click on finish-installation to run it. This script will add start-up commands to the /etc/rc.local file so that the daemon will be run automatically whenever the machine is booted. The daemon will be run from the script. 

6	Close the window that was opened by the finish-installation script. This will terminate the daemon and allow the floppy disk to be ejected. If the disk was mounted from another machine, unmount the disk before ejecting it.  
	
7 	You may restart the daemon now by typing the following from a root shell:

		/private/usr/etc/snmpd /private/usr/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf &
	
	or by rebooting the machine.
