It seems to me that this isn't really a Debian- or Net-SNMP- issue.
Both of us are simply following the agreed standards from our
respective environments.
Surely this is something that could bite *any* FHS-based O/S and *any*
AgentX-capable SNMP agent?

I'd have thought this is something that should be raised with either
the AgentX working group, or the FHS people.  I've been subscribed to
the AgentX list for several years, and can't recall seeing any mention
of this problem.  And a quick search of the FHS list for "agentx"
doesn't throw up anything.



On a slightly different note - should we (i.e. Net-SNMP) consider
adjusting the default location of the persistent directory?  A quick
perusal of the FHS specs would indicate that we should perhaps be
using /var/lib/net-snmp.
  Or is that a can of worms that's better left unmentioned?
