Please note the following customizations of the Net-SNMP packages for
Debian.

 - It doesn't ship some MIBs (IANA, IETF) from license reason.
   Please download it
   (Bug#479633, etc)

 - The default configuration for snmpd is rather paranoid for security
   reasons.  Edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf or run snmpconf (in snmp package)
   to allow greater access.

 - The snmpconf program provides a simple, menu driven way of configuring
   the snmp applications and daemons.

 - You can individually control whether or not snmpd and snmpdtrap are
   run by editing /etc/default/snmp.  In addition, neither daemon will be
   run if its config file in /etc/snmp is removed.

 - As of net-snmp version 5.0, the community string can no longer be
   specified after the agent parameter on the command line.  It must now
   be specified with the -c option.  Please see snmpcmd(1) for more
   information.

 - snmpd is built with TCP Wrappers.  Make sure your /etc/hosts.allow and
   /etc/hosts.deny files account for this.
