ubuntu snmpd ignores /etc/default/snmpd
i just spend a day trying to get snmpd working on Ubuntu 18 and wanted to document my experience. Also, there seems to be problems with the startup files and I would like to know where to post the bugs.
the issue in a nutshell is:
Ubuntu packages snmpd to start using systemd, which is fine, but the default config includes systemd files that are broke.
/lib/systemd/system/snmpd.service:
The original service def:
[Unit]
Description=Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Daemon.
After=network.target
ConditionPathExists=/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
[Service]
Environment="MIBSDIR=/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/snmp/mibs/iana:/usr/share/snmp/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/site:/usr/share/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/mibs/iana:/usr/share/mibs/ietf:/usr/share/mibs/netsnmp"
Environment="MIBS="
Type=simple ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /var/run/agentx
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u Debian-snmp -g Debian-snmp -I -smux,mteTrigger,mteTriggerConf -f
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
as you can see on the exec line, this will launch snmpd with a set of args but it seems to completely ignore /etc/default/snmpd (it took me hours to figure out why my changes to snmpd were not taking)
In order to make systemd work with snmpd AND read the /etc/default/snmpd file, i did this and it seems to be working:
[Unit]
Description=Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Daemon.
After=network.target
ConditionPathExists=/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
[Service]
PIDFile=/run/snmpd.pid
Type=forking
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/snmpd
ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /var/run/agentx
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/snmpd $SNMPDOPTS
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
This seems to be a bug in how Ubuntu is packaging snmpd??? where should I report the bug to?
thanks
