+<h3>2008/01/31 - new user for snmpd</h3>
+
+<i>A SNMP daemon has been imported</i> in order to use this daemon, a new
+user and group are required.
+
+As <i>root</i>, add the following user and group, using
+<a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=useradd&amp;sektion=8">useradd(8)</a>:
+
+<blockquote><pre>
+# useradd -u91 -g=uid -c"SNMP Daemon" -d/var/empty -s/sbin/nologin _snmpd
+</pre></blockquote>
+
+This step will add both the new user and its corresponding group.
+Your environment may allow you to copy/paste those commands.
