Thanks for the feedback. This was part of an online upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 (as stated earlier). Not able to reproduce as the whole upgrade eventually resulted in a 'busybox' computer after reboot and I did a fresh install of 10.04.
>From your comment I understand that it's basically a bug in the upgrade application as that should check if process are running, kill them and only then delete the 'snmp' user. Please treat this bug accordingly as a normal Ubuntu user should not have to go through these steps to kill processes during an upgrade process of the OS.
