Description Simon Piette 2004-12-26 17:48:25 UTC 
When compiled with USE=-tcpd snmpd (from package net-snmp) is unable to accept connections, even locally when you already have ALL: localhost in /etc/hosts.allow

and http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=145088&repeatmerged=yes

net-snmp should not honor the -tcpd USE flag

last comment in  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=550830&group_id=12694&atid=312694 says they will be applied after 5.0.1. All gentoo versions are above this. Therefore the bug isn't valid cause they should of been fixed. Please reopen if this is not the case.
