[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Add PID file to snmpd

[Craig Small]

Hi Josu,
  The init script is only used for non-systemd setups, so first you need to
work out what you have there.  If you are not using systemd, then the snmpd
parameters come from /etc/default/snmpd and /etc/init.d/snmpd

If you are using systemd then the parameters by default come from
/lib/systemd/system/snmpd.service  However, local changes are found in
/etc/systemd/system/snmpd.service

I would guess a local change somewhere is stopping snmpd from creating a
pid. It uses the -p option to do so, you should see something like this in
ps:
  2022 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/snmpd -Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u
Debian-snmp -g Debian-snmp -I -smux mteTrigger mteTriggerConf -f -p
/run/snmpd.pid

For example, I had an old /etc/systemd/system/snmpd.service lying around
that stopped it for me.
