No - that's wrong.
The access control rules *should* be in "snmpd.conf" because they are
only relevant to the agent. "snmp.conf" is used for client-side settings.
But you need to be aware that there are (at least) *two* snmpd.conf
files. There's the one for static configuration information
(typically in /usr/local/etc/snmp or /usr/local/share/snmp or similar)
This is used for things like access control settings, and the like.
And then there's the dynamic information, that's re-written by
the agent whenever it restarts. That's typically in the file
/var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf and is used for things like the SNMPv3
engine information, and creating SNMPv3 users.

What answers did you give to "configure" when you first compiled the
source? In particular, what did you say to the question about
"snmpd persistent storage location"
?
