Anyone know how to fix it?

Thansk.

How about using the logging options snmpd offers?

man snmpd

-L[efos] Specify where logging output should be directed (standard error or output, to a file or via syslog). See LOGGING OPTIONS in snmpcmd(5) for details. This option deprecates the -l -s and -S options.

-> man 1 snmpcmd -> LOGGING OPTIONS

Then set /etc/sysconfig/snmpd.options as you like to. For instance, I am running with

~ $ cat /etc/sysconfig/snmpd.options OPTIONS="-LS n d -LF i /dev/null -p /var/run/snmpd.pid -a"
