Initial import of net-snmp-5.0.6 as net/net-snmp. This package is based
on net/net-snmp-current and on the FreeBSD net-snmp port, and may be considered as an update to ucd-snmp. Changes since ucd-snmp include: * complete rewrite of the agent internals * new agent module API * SNMPv3 * improved AgentX subagent handling * many, many bugfixes in plugged memory leaks * prevent DoS attacks from authenticated users

+Net-SNMP contains various tools relating to the Simple Network Management
+Protocol including:
+
+ * an extensible agent
+ * an SNMP library
+ * tools to request or set information from SNMP agents
+ * tools to generate and handle SNMP traps
+ * a version of the unix 'netstat' command using SNMP

+This package is originally based on the Carnegie Mellon University
+SNMP implementation (version 2.1.2.1), but has developed significantly
+since then.
