Extend - problems with ownerships/run-as

Hi guys,

I wish to extend the agent functionality using a script:

If I run the command as follows:
	su -c "/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli -LDInfo -L0 -a0" root

Then I get a result, but running it as:
	su -c "/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli -LDInfo -L0 -a0" snmp

Then nothing is returned.

snmpd runs as the user snmp, but the MegaCli seems only to want to
return output when it's run as root, not as snmp. As a result, my script
returns an empty string and not what I'm after.

How does one get around this type of problem. I would not like to run
snmpd as root for obvious security reasons.

Thanks
H
