Check the snmpd.options file (it can be at either
/etc/snmpd/snmpd.options or /etc/sysconfig/snmpd.options depending on
your system history). When I upgraded to 5.3 I found that it broke the
options I was using to suppress logging of the SNMP polling. A set of
options that work are
OPTIONS="-Ln -Lf /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid"
