Subject: snmpd: init script needs /etc/default file, fails without

Date: Sun, 22 Aug 2004 15:41:14 +0200

Package: snmpd
Version: 5.1.2-2
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 9.3.2

The init script fails when /etc/default/snmpd is not present.
Additionally, it does not set default values for variables usually set
in the /etc/default file.

Unfortunately, that's a violation of a "must" directive from policy,
and thus an RC bug :-(

Greetings
Marc

A patch that addresses this can be found at:

(Set all defaults in the init.d script, and then only source the file if it
exists.)
