Before launching daemon make sure that there is no file /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf
-Delete it if exists. Ingoring to to so will fail SNMPv3 tests
+Delete it if exists. Ingoring to to so will fail SNMPv3 tests.
-Make snmpd bind on localhost only. To do so, pass '127.0.0.1' into it's startup arguments
-(see /etc/init.d/snmpd on Linux and set snmpd_flags="127.0.0.1" in rc.conf in FreeBSD).
-Otherwise your SNMP daemon will answer SNMPv3 messages from remote clients.
+- Launch snmpd (service snmpd start or /etc/init.d/snmpd start).
+ Alternatively you can start snmpd daemon using following command line:
+ sudo snmpd -C -c ./snmpd.conf -f -Le
