You need to ask Brian Zhou or some of the other powers that be what ipkg and Optware's future will be. Optware seems to have spread, and people are still...

Hi, I installed this package on my NSLU2 but cannot figure out how to get the daemon to run. I don't see anything for it under init.d and I'm not even sure...

I'm not familiar with this package, but if it's not in init.d (since it actually sounds like a network service), you might find it in xinetd. You can always...

I could try installing the full blown snmpd package and see what I get. Just didn't want to bog down the slug running a service that I really don't need that...
