There willbe a state LISTENING for *TCP* services, yes.
But SNMP is primarily a UDP-based protocol, so wouldn't
necessarily be displayed as "LISTENING".
   (It depends on the underlying O/S)

Fair comment.

One possibility is that the agent isn't reading the config file you expect.
Try using the option '-Dread_config' to check what it's actually working with.

Hmmm...  not sure that'll help.  Particularly if you're working with a simple
config file already.

Try starting the agent using

     snmpd  -f -Le       (plus any other options you need)

That will let you see any error messages that the agent might produce.

Another thing to check - shut down the agent, and run "netstat" again.
Does the "snmp" entry disappear?
