>Description:
Dear Sir / Madame,

7-4-5 checkout from ports 
in /usr/ports/net/snmpd
make clean
make package -DWITHOUT_PERL
pkg_add net-snmp*

made this config file from testing with snmpconf :
cat snmpd.conf

# snmpd.conf
#
#   - created by the snmpconf configuration program
#
###########################################################################
# SECTION: Access Control Setup
#
#   This section defines who is allowed to talk to your running
#   snmp agent.

# rwuser: a SNMPv3 read-write user
#   arguments:  user [noauth|auth|priv] [restriction_oid]

rwuser  root
rwuser

# rouser: a SNMPv3 read-only user
#   arguments:  user [noauth|auth|priv] [restriction_oid]

rouser  noauth noauth public

# rocommunity: a SNMPv1/SNMPv2c read-only access community name
#   arguments:  community [default|hostname|network/bits] [oid]

rocommunity  public

# SECTION: Monitor Various Aspects of the Running Host
#
#   The following check up on various aspects of a host.

# proc: Check for processes that should be running.
#     proc NAME [MAX=0] [MIN=0]
#
#     NAME:  the name of the process to check for.  It must match
#            exactly (ie, http will not find httpd processes).
#     MAX:   the maximum number allowed to be running.  Defaults to 0.
#     MIN:   the minimum number to be running.  Defaults to 0.
#
#   The results are reported in the prTable section of the UCD-SNMP-MIB tree
#   Special Case:  When the min and max numbers are both 0, it assumes
#   you want a max of infinity and a min of 1.

proc

# load: Check for unreasonable load average values.
#   Watch the load average levels on the machine.
#
#    load [1MAX=12.0] [5MAX=12.0] [15MAX=12.0]
#
#    1MAX:   If the 1 minute load average is above this limit at query
#            time, the errorFlag will be set.
#    5MAX:   Similar, but for 5 min average.
#    15MAX:  Similar, but for 15 min average.
#
#   The results are reported in the laTable section of the UCD-SNMP-MIB tree

load  1 1 1






###########################################################################
# SECTION: System Information Setup
#
#   This section defines some of the information reported in
#   the "system" mib group in the mibII tree.

# syslocation: The [typically physical] location of the system.
#   Note that setting this value here means that when trying to
#   perform an snmp SET operation to the sysLocation.0 variable will make
#   the agent return the "notWritable" error code.  IE, including
#   this token in the snmpd.conf file will disable write access to
#   the variable.
#   arguments:  location_string

syslocation  leiden

# syscontact: The contact information for the administrator
#   Note that setting this value here means that when trying to
#   perform an snmp SET operation to the sysContact.0 variable will make
#   the agent return the "notWritable" error code.  IE, including
#   this token in the snmpd.conf file will disable write access to
#   the variable.
#   arguments:  contact_string

syscontact  marten at wirelessleiden.net

# sysservices: The proper value for the sysServices object.
#   arguments:  sysservices_number

sysservices 79



###########################################################################
# SECTION: Trap Destinations
#
#   Here we define who the agent will send traps to.

# trap2sink: A SNMPv2c trap receiver
#   arguments: host [community] [portnum]

trap2sink

# informsink: A SNMPv2c inform (acknowledged trap) receiver
#   arguments: host [community] [portnum]

informsink  home-marten.wleiden.net wleiden 2000

# trapcommunity: Default trap sink community to use
#   arguments: community-string

trapcommunity  wleiden

# authtrapenable: Should we send traps when authentication failures occur
#   arguments: 1 | 2   (1 = yes, 2 = no)

authtrapenable  1

>How-To-Repeat:
1. This does not occur in when it is compiled wth perl, because then the config file is copied ( by perl?) to /usr/local/share/snmp
2. see above






      
>Fix:
work arounds:
1. don't compile without perl
2. be sure the your config is in /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf
