Hi Attached you'll find a patch for /etc/init.d/snmpd which adds reload support for this daemon. net-snmp supports reloading its configuration via SIGHUP. Thanks
Created attachment 194349 [details, diff] patch for /etc/init.d/snmpd (adds reload support)
Sorry to dupe ya. I've added this in bug 279423 as well. Leaving this bug open as a dependent of 279423. This can also be closed when that bug is resolved.
Fixed in bug 278423.
