I read a similar set of commands in the instructions to install Zenoss on 
Ubuntu 7.10:

cp /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf{,.bak}
snmpconf
cp snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/
/etc/init.d/snmpd restart

What does the first line of instruction do?  I don't understand the part that 
says {,.bak}.  I also would like to know which file snmpd actually uses so I 
can modifiy it.
