be dropped...
My observation indicates that there is more to it than this. I also
never saw any snmpd messages in the syslog under CentOS 4.4 even though
snmpd was started with -Lsd switch? It appears that in CentOS 4.4 the
-Lsd was ignored. I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that behavior was because
of the simultaneous use of -Lf /dev/null switch. With CentOS 4.5 snmpd
now does something with the -Lsd switch. In this sense it appears that
maybe a bug was actually fixed going from CentOS 4.4 to CentOS 4.5.
However, I am not convinced that -Lsd is a good default.
