Hi,
this happened in both environments, on my Linux 2.4 PC and embedded.
I think the main problem was, that I tried to put all rules (oldEngineID, engineBoots from snmpd.conf and access control ones from snmp.conf) in one file snmpd.conf.
Then starting the agent snmpd.conf seems to be updated and all access control entries are gone. Now I have 2 files (even in the same directory on my embedded device) and everything is fine.
Are two conf files mandatory? Is this correct?
Regards, Marco.

All of what you are describing should basically never happen. So, I'm rather confused. /usr/share/snmp/snmpd.conf should never be overwritten unless you specified that as the storage location when you ran configure (overriding the default /var/net-snmp directory it suggested).
If this is in an embedded environment, I'm afraid I suspect the compiler doing strange things with either dynamic libraries or, um, shared memory, or um, something else...
