This isn't an ugly hack. This options file has been designed to be modified by local administrator. > Could somebody with more knowledge of snmpd configuration stuff tell me > if this hardcoded /etc/default/snmpd config file is indeed different > from the standard configuration of snmpd?

This file is specific to Debian distribution. Ubuntu is based on Debian. Many services has been packaged with default configuration options file support into theses distributions. This is a way to modify startup options without alter init script directly. > I will file a bugreport on Ubuntu if it only can be solved by editing > the /etc/default/snmpd file. First I need some confirmation on the subject. On Ubuntu, most services has been designed to listen localhost only by default. I don't think you "bug" will be solved. You always have to modify /etc/default/snmpd if default options doesn't match yours needs.
