Re: Unix socket not deleted in a config master/subagent

In the file, snmpd.c, I've seen the following code:

RETSIGTYPE
SnmpdShutDown(int a)
{
#ifdef WIN32
    extern netsnmp_session *main_session;
#endif
    running = 0;
#ifdef WIN32
    /*
     * In case of windows, select() in receive() function will not return
     * on signal. Thats why following function is called, which closes the
     * socket descriptors and causes the select() to return
     */
    snmp_close(main_session);
#endif
}

this function is registered for SIGINT and for SIGTERM. Is the socket freed 
in the function SnmpdShutDown (snmp_close)?

I put a printf in the function SnmpdShutDown, and launch the snmpd with the 
log activated.

I have the following messages :
Received TERM or STOP signal...  shutting down...

but I don't have my specific message although the SIGTERM has been detected.
