Does this require an update to stable
Hi All,
I received the attached bug report on my snmpd package. Ordinarily, I
would fix it and upload a new version. The problem is that the
version in question (4.2.3) no longer provides the snmpd package since
it has been superceded by a major, new version (5.0.3). For testing
and unstable, the old version now only provides the library packages.
Furthermore, there already is a way to control the snmptrapd daemon by
setting the appropriate variable in /etc/default/snmp. Should I
direct the user to use /etc/default/snmp and close this report or
should I update the older version and request it go into stable only?

Hi there!
To stop snmptrapd from starting I always remove the
/etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf file. Today after rebooting the machine I
noticed snmptrapd running. This could be tracked to a missing '-f' in
the check for the existence of the conffile.
Since starting networked services which are should be stopped
is no good idea, I tagged this security.
Thank you for your time and work.
Regards, David Schmitt
