I have a configuration tool which uses SNMP locally to talk to the agent and retrieve and set some data. I've recently run into a problem where mis-configured networking prevented host resolution (`ping localhost` hung). I'd like to convert my utility to connect to 127.0.0.1 (which will always be localhost, at least on my system) so name resolutino is needed and I wonder if I can also put that in snmpd.conf in the SOURCE field of a com2sec directive. The description of com2sec documentation on snmpd.conf.5 isn't clear (to me) and searching the list archives for "localhost" or "localhost com2sec" found no relevant hits. I'd guess I can at least put "127.0.0.1/32" but would "127.0.0.1" work?
