So that is where the OPTIONS variable is set.
If you need to change the startup options,
you should change things here,

This tells the system to start the SNMP agent using the command
line options listed earlier.
i.e.
    /usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd -a

The most important thing here is that it's running /usr/sbin/snmpd
(which is the vendor-supplied agent) rather than /usr/local/sbin/snmpd
(the version you have compiled).

Try running /etc/init.d/snmpd stop,
then edit this file and change the daemon line to read

    daemon /usr/local/sbin/snmpd $OPTIONS

and the kill line to read

    kill /usr/local/sbin/snmpd

Then run /etc/init.d/snmpd start

Can you see the HostRes information now?
