I also never saw any snmpd messages in the syslog under CentOS 4.4 even though snmpd was started with -Lsd switch? It appears that in CentOS 4.4 the -Lsd was ignored. I assumed, perhaps wrongly, that behavior was because of the simultaneous use of -Lf /dev/null switch. With CentOS 4.5 snmpd now does something with the -Lsd switch. In this sense it appears that maybe a bug was actually fixed going from CentOS 4.4 to CentOS 4.5. However, I am not convinced that -Lsd is a good default. -- Paul (ganci at nurdog.com)
