| Description |
|
Start mongod (enterprise) with the --snmp-master flag. The net-snmp code opens a port for smux on 199. Unless mongod is launched as root (bad) or has permission to open the low port, the follwing confusing message is logged.
The message, or that we're opening another port isn't mentioned in the documentation. |

The documentation does recommend that master mode only be used for testing and not for production, so I am putting this as minor. |
