Re: /var filling up.........

It looks like a problem I've seen before on AIX 4.2.1. If your snmpd daemon
is running ok, this may be due to a configuration problem in which the dpid2
daemon, which serves as a translator between SMUX and DPI (SNMP Multiplexor
Protocol and Distributed Protocol Interface) traffic, is not known to the snmp
agent. I resolved it by adding a 'smux' line to /etc/snmpd.conf for the dpid2
daemon.
Here's what I did:
AIX provides an SNMP agent that uses SNMP Multiplexer protocol (SMUX). DPID2
is an
additional executable that works as a translator between DPI and SMUX.
The DPI agent must run as a root user. Before you execute the dpid2 daemon,
update the
/etc/snmpd.peers file and the /etc/snmpd.conf file as follows:
In the /etc/snmpd.peers file, add the following entry for dpid:
"dpid2" 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.2.1.1.2 "dpid_password"
In the /etc/snmpd.conf file, add the following entry for dpid:
smux 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.1.2.2.1.1.2 dpid_password #dpid
Refresh snmpd so that it will reread the /etc/snmpd.conf file:
refresh -s snmpd
Start the dpid SMUX peer:
dpid2
The daemons must be started in the following order:
1.SNMP agent
2.DPI translator
If I recall correctly, I tracked this down via IBM's RS/6000 web site search.

Hello everyone,
My /var filesystem is filling up rapidly because of the following
log-file
/var/tmp/dpid2.log
The following messages are being written to it allmost every second:
> 1/21 16:23:46 dpid2 10882 (root ) lost connection to agent
> 1/21 16:23:51 dpid2 10882 (root ) smux_wait: youLoseBig [ps2pe: Error
> 0]
>
> 1/21 16:23:51 dpid2 10882 (root ) lost connection to agent
> 1/21 16:23:56 dpid2 10882 (root ) smux_wait: youLoseBig [ps2pe: Error
> 0]
I know it has something to do with SNMP (which still doesn't work by the
way.......)
Anyone seen this before????
I run ADSM 3.1.2.50 on AIX 4.2.1
Thanx in advance for any help.
Regards
