Re: Upgrading Net-SNMP to 5.9 on Raspberry Pi OS (i.e. ARMHF Debian 10 Buster)?

Bart,

Thanks for the reply.  Very informative.

One question... Since I accepted all the defaults... and use the 
official configuration tool?  Should it not default to the correct path 
for the conf file?

Also, the 5.9 unit file has 'snmpd -f' as the only parameter. But the 
debian 5.7.3 package has the following...

snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u Debian-snmp -g Debian-snmp -I 
-smux,mteTrigger,mteTriggerConf -f -p /run/snmpd.pid

Maybe the package owner customized?  Specification appears to customize 
logging, set UID and GID values (not sure what these address from 
memory), don't fork shell (same as 5.9) and specify the PID file.

Thanks again.
