[Bug 496922] [NEW] Ubuntu snmpd package doesn't include all net-snmpd modules

[Jens Rantil]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: snmpd

=== The problem ===
The 'exec' directive is not compiled into snmpd. However, the snmpd config file (/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf) provides lines commented out to do this. Figuring out how this works

=== Proposed solution(s) ===
There are three ways of solving this issue:
1) The best way: to compile snmpd with the 'ucd_snmp' MIB module. See the blog post in the references section on how to do this.
2) Remove the exec directive examples in the '/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf'.
3) Inform about the dependence in the 'exec' example section in '/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf'.

=== Additional notes ===
According to the blog post below this problem is also related to the 'proc' directive, too. However, I have not verified this.
