+
+This is a mini-SNMP daemon. The basic daemon implements the system group
+and a number of private extensions to manage the UDP transport mapping,
+communities, trap destinations and loadable modules. In this form it can
+be used to provide remote access to arbitrary data that can be described in
+the form as required by the SMI. The daemon speaks both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
+
+One basic loadable module is provided together with the daemon:
+
+- snmp_mibII provides the information groups for ip, tcp, and udp.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+You need to apply the patch in the patches directory to your system sources.
+This adds a sysctl to retrieve multicast address information from the kernel.
+
+As usual by doing:
+
+ make obj ; make depend ; make ; make install
+
+This does not install a configuration file. The standard location for the
+configuration is /etc/snmpd.config, but can be overwritten on the command
+line. An example configuration file is provided.
+
+Running
+-------
+
+ snmpd [-m name[=value]] [-p pid-file] [-c config-file] [-d] [-l prefix]
+ [-D debug-flags] [-I path]
+
+ -m defines a configuration macro. If no value is given it
+ is set to the empty string.
+
+ -p specify the file where to store the PID. Default is
+ /var/run/{prefix}.pid.
+
+ -c specify the configuration file. Default is /etc/{prefix}.config.
+
+ -d don't go into daemon mode.
+
+ -l specify the prefix. This is used for the default config and
+ pid file names and for the syslog. Default is "snmpd".
+
+ -D specify debug flags:
+
+ d dump all PDUs.
+
+ e debug event library.
+
+ -I specify the include path for system configuration files.
+ Default is /etc:/usr/etc:/usr/local/etc.
+
+The directory snmpd contains a snmpd.sh script, which can be copied to
+/usr/local/etc/rc.d to automatically start and stop the daemon. snmpd.config
+is an example config script.
