Hi, My original thought was that because this is 'configure' related it belonged on -coders. I realize cross/double-posting is discouraged so before I make a different attempt to get clarification on the role of the --sysconfdir/--datadir configure options wrt 'snmpd.conf' I'd like to make another plea here. Can anyone shed some light on this?
