No!

The files under /etc/init.d are *scripts*, used to control starting and stopping
various services.   They are NOT the server binaries themselves.

Please remove this link.

There is a file 'dist/snmpd-init.d'  which can be copied to /etc/init.d/snmpd



If you are having problems getting things to work properly, the first step is
always to go back to basics, and try starting the agent manually - not via
the "service" mechanism.

Shut down this running service ("service snmpd stop" or using 'kill').
Then run

      snmpd -f -Le

What does this report?
If there's nothing obviously wrong, try running a simple query
(something like "snmpgetnext -v1 -cpublic localhost system")
Does this work or not?
