Typically
	/usr/local/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
or similar.
Run snmpd with the option "-Dread_config"
to see the list of locations that the agent
is using.

The simplest way is just

	snmpd

When debugging a problem, I tend to use

	snmpd -f -Le
or
	snmpd -f -Le -D{debug_token}

to see any output from the agent
(including any relevant debug messages).

Various possible reasons.
Either the O/S version of the agent doesn't have
AgentX support compiled in.
Or it's looking in a different config file,
and AgentX support isn't being turned on.
Or you haven't restarted the running agent
since updating the config file.

As a general rule, it's much safer to *remove*
the O/S provided agent completely, if you're going
to be working with a source-compiled version.
Having both installed at the same time is a
recipe for confusion.
