SNMP.CONF(5)					     SNMP.CONF(5)

NAME
       snmp_config  -  describes  how  to  configure the ucd-snmp
       applications.

DESCRIPTION
       The ucd-snmp package uses various configuration	files  to
       configure  its  applications.   This  manual  page  merely
       describes the overall nature of them, so	 that  the  other
       manual pages don't have to.

DIRECTORIES SEARCHED
       First  off,  there  are numerous places that configuration
       files can be found and read from.  By default, the  appli-
       cations	look  for  configuration files in the following 3
       directories, in order: /usr/contrib/share/snmp,	/usr/con-
       trib/lib/snmp, and $HOME/.snmp.	In each of these directo-
       ries, it looks for files with the extension of both  .conf
       and  default places a configuration file can exist for any
       given configuration file type.

       Additionally, the above default search path can	be  over-
       ridden by setting the environment variable SNMPCONFPATH to
       a ':' separated list of directories to search for.

       Finally, applications that store persistent data will also
       look  in	 the  /var/snmp directory for configuration files
       there.

CONFIGURATION FILE TYPES
       Each application may  use  multiple  configuration  files,
       which  will  configure  various	different  aspects of the
       application.  For instance, the SNMP agent  (snmpd)  knows
       how  to	understand  configuration  directives in both the
       snmpd.conf and the snmp.conf files.  In fact, most  appli-
       cations	understand  how	 to  read  the	contents  of  the
       snmp.conf files.	 Note, however, that configuration direc-
       tives  understood  in  one  file	 may not be understood in
       another file.  For further information, read  the  associ-
       ated manual page with each configuration file type.  Also,
       most of the applications support a '-H' switch on the com-
       mand  line  that will list the configuration files it will
       look for and the directives in each  one	 that  it  under-
       stands.

       The  snmp.conf  configuration  file  is	intended  to be a
       application suite wide configuration  file  that	 supports
       directives that are useful for controlling the fundamental
       nature of all of the snmp applications, such as	how  they
       all manipulate and parse the textual SNMP mib files.

COMMENTS
       Any lines beginning with the character '#' in the configu-
       ration files are treated as a comment and are not  parsed.

API Interface
       Information  about  writing  C code that makes use of this
       system in either the agent's mib modules	 or  in	 applica-
       tions can be found in the read_config(3) manual page.
