snmpd server stop responding

Hello.

I'm currently facing this problem with one host. Suddenly the snmpd daemon stop answering request after a while. I guess some message received from the monitoring software is causing the server to hang but I can't find what it is.

Maybe I'm using a version of snmpd with some bug, Or maybe I have configured snmpd (sma) wrong.

I have set up a script to constantly check if the daemon is responding to requests, verifying the exit status of some snmpget command, and kill and start the daemon if this fails, this is of course a horrible hack, I just needed smpd to be working so the monitoring software will not send messages of "server state unknown". I have set up the snmpd proccess to run like this.

Howdy, Stranger!
