please add einfo with BIG FAT WARNING for ebuild net-snmp config that allows
installation of an snmpd.conf.example and snmptrapd.conf.example without
security-minded defaults

(for those users that prefer just filtering world + dog via iptables)

explain?

he means that we currently don't install any config or even an example /
default config. There is one in the DOCDIR, but its not intuitively named.
Perhaps we should consider simply copying the one from there to
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.example and leave it at that. 

FYI the reason we don't include one by default is that you need to actually run
binaries to generate users for snmp v3.

I went with Benjamin's idea. An example config is now installed as
/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.example in the unstable versions. Thanks.
