[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#782243: Failed to get unit file state for snmpd.service: No such file or directory

[Sam Tannous]

I've been using this simple snmpd.service file (placed in
/lib/systemd/system/snmpd.service):

#######################
[Unit]
Description=Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Daemon.
After=networking.service syslog.service

[Service]
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/snmpd
Type=simple
# Restart can be no (the default), on-success, on-failure, on-abnormal,
on-watchdog,
# on-abort, or always
#Restart=no
# Here, we start snmpd with -f to prevent from forking for better systemd
control
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/snmpd $SNMPDOPTS -f
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
################

0. After saving the snmpd.service file in the right place, do a systemctl
daemon-reload.
1. Remove "export" from /etc/default/snmpd since this causes a warning.
2. Move /etc/init.d/snmpd to someplace else (e.g. snmpd.orig) or you'll get
some
    warnings about 'insserv'.   Best not to mix init.d with systemd.
3. Comment out "defaultMonitors" and "linkUpDownNotifications" or you'll
see some warnings about
    unknown tokens.


And I think that's all.

I've been trying to get this patch correct for the maintainers but I can't
figure out how
to get the snmpd.service file into the deb package.
