No, the file /var/agentx/master is created by the master agent, and is used for listening for connections. It's existence doesn't not imply any connections to sub-agents.

It shouldn't be an issue, or else one of the other non-intel platforms would probably be broken too. And it works fine on my PPC box.

Is it a modified version of snmpd, or the default snmpd? And you say you are using 5.0.9?
