There are actually two different questions here:
1) what is the difference between {xxx}.conf and {xxx}.local.conf ?
The answer is "nothing".
The config parsing code looks for files with *both* of these names
(for any given application token), in a range of locations.
The idea here is to support both common configuration (identical
across a range of machines), and system-specific configuration.
For example, you could put the access control settings in 'snmpd.conf'
(so they are consistent across all systems), while having sysLocation
in 'snmpd.local.conf' (so it's different for each system)
2) what is the difference between snmp.conf and snmpd.conf ?
The first contains library-level config (typically used for
client-side tools,
snmpget, snmpwalk and the like).
The second is specific to the SNMP agent (snmpd).
See 'snmp.conf(5)' and 'snmpd.conf(5)' for details.
