I have a MIB object with read-write permission. MIB section looks like this:
EnableHalt OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION "implemented in NetSnmpcodsMr.c file."
DEFVAL { 0 }
::= { Scalars 4 }
When I do a set on this object I get:
$ sudo snmpset -v 2c -c public localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.2.2.4.0 i 1
Error in packet.
Reason: noAccess
Failed object: NET-SNMP-MIB::netSnmp.2.2.4.0
When I do a get:
$ snmpget -v 2c -c public localhost 1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.2.2.4.0
NET-SNMP-MIB::netSnmp.2.2.4.0 = INTEGER: 1
All is fine!
In snmpd.conf I added the line:
rwcommunity public localhost
Still noAccess issue. I'm using net snmp 5.4.2.1 on Ubuntu
What am I doing wrong? Please advice Thanks Gil

It's nine months since you asked this but in case it's helpful...
Is your community string correct? You specified it as "public", which is the default read-only community string. Perhaps it should be "private" instead, which is the default read-write community string.
