The '-Lf /dev/null' was to disable the default log file, because snmpd used to always open it, even if other log types were specified. Newer releases don't open the default log file unless no other logging method is specified, so the '-Lf /dev/null' can (and should) be dropped... -- "No sense being pessimistic.
