Re: [snmpsim-users] snmpsim On Linux

[Ilya E. <il...@gl...>]

Hi Yateen,

You should pass it a Linux user & group under which snmpsim should run 
instead of running as root. For example:

$ snmpsimd.py --process-user=nobody --process-group=nogroup

or better yet create a dedicated user & group for snmpsim on your Linux 
system.
