	It's probably never been checked in because the low budget alternative:

cp /path/to/snmpd.conf /path/tp/backups/snmpd.conf.NNN
snmpd_management_script stop
cat conf_file1 conf_file2 conf_file3 >/path/to/snmpd.conf
snmpd_management_script start

	...where NNN is an incrementing backup number, is so easy and effective, and immediately available.


	HTH,

Mike
