Description of problem: Unlike most Red Hat/Fedora packaged services, the snmpd daemon options are not configured within sysconfig configuration file. This isn't an issue as such but for consistency it should be migrated to one. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): net-snmp-5.4.1-5.fc8 How reproducible: See full desc below Additional info: At present the snmpd init file contains: if [ -e /etc/snmp/snmpd.options ]; then . /etc/snmp/snmpd.options else OPTIONS="-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -a" fi I propose that instead of using /etc/snmp/snmpd.options we create a /etc/sysconfig/snmpd file that by default contains the OPTIONS above. This is a very minor change to the package set and brings a consistent location for daemon configuration options into Fedora packaged services.
Good point, I'll do it
