When we do "snmpd status", it always return 0 inspite of snmpd not 
running. This is a bug in /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd startup script. In the 
script, "RETVAL" environment variable is not properly set for status.
Basically, status() returns 3 in this case, but then 0 is returned from 
the script.  RETVAL needs to get set after calling status().

Because of this, dellomsa cannot check the correct status of snmpd and it 
will not start snmpd if it not already started.

Patch to /etc/rc.d/init.d/snmpd is here.  As this is a trivial yet 
functionally necessary change, Dell would like to see this addressed.
