Can't see the forest for the trees. Turns out it was the paranoid
default setting that (partially) overrode the readonly access I had
entered for my mrtg server. It's possible the default settings changed
from earlier package releases or just that I forgot I had changed them.
What threw me off was that I could get the system information from the
daemon but nothing about the interfaces.
It doesn't appear necessary to do anything with the
/var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf file, at least for my purposes.
Thanks for tickling my brain cells and hope the discussion helps someone
else.

Check your etc/snmpd/snmpd.conf and make sure it's set for read-only as
opposed to paranoid. That should do the trick. Also, there's a file in
/var/lib/snmp called snmp.conf that I moved to /ro/var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf
and made a link in the original location to /rw/var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf
because it seemed appropriate. I don't know that I ever tested it without
doing that, so I can't speak to the necessity. But it didn't hurt.

Subject: [Voyage-linux] SNMP not returning full data
Not sure if this is a Voyage problem per se ...
Most of my many WRAPs are identically loaded with Voyage 0.2 plus I've
installed snmpd to monitor them. For some reason I've not yet
discovered (hence this email), the last few will not return anything
except the basic system info when queried by MRTG's cfgmaker (or
snmpwalk run manually for that matter). So far I can't find any
difference in version numbers, snmpd.conf or mibs between the ones that
work fine and the newer ones.
Anyone else had this problem and what am I missing here? It used to
work and I can't find what's changed. :-(
Thanks,
Edwin
