Which particular file are you talking about?
There are typically at least two different 'snmpd.conf' files - one
intended for your configuration settings, and one intended for
persistent information. This second one will indeed be overwritten
at regular intervals.

That would seem to indicate that you are looking at the persistent
configuration file (typically /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf). You
should not be editting this file directly - hence the warnings shown.
You probably ought to be editing /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf (e.g. if
using a pre-compiled version), or /usr/local/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
(if compiled from source, using the default settings).
If that doesn't work, run
snmpd -f -Le -Dread-config
and look to see which config files the agent is trying to load.
