Ok, I tried it again.
I moved my "OC-STB-HOST-MIB.txt" MIB text file from the default
"/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/" directory and placed it into my special directory
"/export/home/myname/snmp/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/" instead.
I started the agent using the following command:
/export/home/myname/snmp/usr/local/sbin/snmpd -f -L -Dread_config -M localhost &
Based on the "-Dread_config" data displayed when the agent started up, it looks
like the "snmp.conf" file (as well as the other snmpd.conf file) is being found
and read correctly. However, when I try to perform the "snmpwalk", it produces
the following error:
ocStbHostAVInterfaceTable: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: (top)
-> ocStbHostAVInterfaceTable)
*** Now, if I move the OC-STB-HOST-MIB.txt file back into the
"/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs/" default directory location and then execute the
exact same "snmpwalk" command, then everything works fine. This lets me
believe the "mibdirs" line in the "snmp.conf" file is not really working
properly.
Here is the contents of my "snmp.conf" file:

Both should work. I'm not sure what the problem with the
--with-mibdirs flag, as it should work (but to be honest, I'm not sure
the last time it was tested).
For the snmp.conf file, make sure that it's being read. Run the agent
or app with -Dread_config to make sure it's being read.
