I have attempted to comment out the line /extend pdns-rec /usr/local/bin/pdns_stats /in snmpd.conf file and still gotten the same error, however changing permissions to the entire directory to rwx worked but like you mentioned this indeed brings about a security issue.

Oh well, if that works, you just do tighter permissions - e.g. changing the directory *group* to "snmp" or "Debian-snmp" as appropriate, and setting mode 775.

This is what out-of-box recursor has:

root@cache1:~# ls -ld /var/run/pdns-recursor
drwxr-xr-x 2 pdns pdns 60 Dec 12 12:49 /var/run/pdns-recursor

root@cache1:~# ls -l /var/run/pdns-recursor/
total 0
srwxr-xr-x 1 pdns pdns 0 Dec 12 12:49 pdns_recursor.controlsocket

Using pdns:snmp and mode 775 should be fine.

See also the perms for the socket itself: https://docs.powerdns.com/recursor/settings.html#socket-owner-socket-group-socket-mode

HTH,

Brian.
