Re: Configuring snmp to not use syslog as it's log file

I took your advice and I started the snmpd process
using a different log file.  THe following command was
used to start the snmpd process:

/opt/net-snmp/sbin/snmpd -c
/opt/net-snmp/etc/snmpd.conf -Lf /var/log/snmpd.log

The new log file is created and snmpd places entries
in it but still continues to log to /var/log/syslog. 
Am I missing something?
