Installing SNMPD on Debian5/Lenny

I've created this cheat just to ease researching on how to install snmpd on debian

Install snmpd with : sudo apt-get install snmpd
backup /etc/snmpd/snmpd.conf or cp /etc/snmpd/snmpd.conf snmpd.bak 
rm -f /etc/snmpd/snmpd.conf; touch /etc/snmpd/snmpd.conf
Open /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf using your favorite editor 
vim for me i'm much more of it.
sudo vim /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf


create a very minimal configuration: 

rocommunity <community string you want>
syscontact <contact cacti administrator>
syslocation <location>


Save and Exit the file


Change /etc/default/snmpd so that it contains the following line to

SNMPDOPTS=’-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid’ 

sudo /etc/init.d/snmpd restart.

To test: snmpwalk -v 1 -c <community string here> localhost 

That should do it.
