Aha!!! That *does* work!! The new snmpd is, in fact, in /usr/local/sbin ... We typically run as root here, so that directory is accessible; my problem was that the default snmpd was in /usr/sbin, which was earlier in the path, and misled me. And the new snmpd *does* appear to work... cool stuff.
When I copied the new snmpd to another machine, however, it *didn't* work (i.e., it runs, but I can't access it from an external snmp manager); I probably need to move some other configuration files over, and probably even libraries (since the default snmpd is 5.2.1, which comes with SuSE 9.3). Thanks for your help!!
