It causes bsnmpd to listen on the given IP as well, but doesn't remove the *:* entry: root@gw1 [/root]# sockstat -l4 USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS root bsnmpd 61251 4 udp4 *:* *:* root bsnmpd 61251 5 udp4 127.0.0.1:161 *:* The author suggested using "begemotSnmpdPortTable.0.0.0.0.161 = 1" and change the IP there, but this causes the following error: Apr 30 08:59:59 gw1 snmpd[78798]: unknown variable Apr 30 08:59:59 gw1 snmpd[78798]: in file /usr/local/etc/bsnmpd.conf line 20 Apr 30 08:59:59 gw1 snmpd[78798]: error in config file - Max
