Hello, I'm working through some of the documentation for the ldap-agent at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/dir-server/ag/7.1/snmp.html (although with Fedora Directory Server). I have a simple ldap-agent.conf file in /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/config. The documentation states that a config item of "server" should be specified that points to the log directory of the Directory Server instance to be monitored. I found that it balked if I did that: ldap-agent: Error opening server config file: /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-instance/logs/config/dse.ldif so I changed the server value to be just /opt/fedora-ds/slapd-instance. Error message goes away but now when I try to start ldap-agent, I get: ldap-agent: Not started! Check log file for details. And if I check the log file for details, I see: 2005-11-30 16:58:21 Starting ldap-agent... The -D option generates no more additional information. On the server, net-snmp is running, with agentx support, listening to a socket in /var/agentx/master. The documentation states that version 5.2.1 is required, but I'm only running 5.1.2. Now I found that if I disabled iptables on this server, the agent came up, one time. Thought that was it but then I found if I killed it and restarted it, it didn't come up. And then with iptables enabled again, it did come up. And then it didn't. You get the picture - its very inconsistent :) So, anyone have this running reliably? Kevin -- Kevin M.
