Description Thomas Anders 2005-10-19 16:58:17 UTC
The net-snmp package ships with a snmpd.conf(5) manpage that tells:

       AgentXSocket addr
              This defines the address the master  agent  listens
              at.   The  default  is  /var/agentx/master. Another
              possibility is localhost:705

This is wrong as the SuSE package has changed the default path to
/var/run/agentx/master, AFAICS.
