Hi Ilya

Thanks, I have used dedicated  user and group, no errors any more,
But I can not see any daemon process running.

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.
