Good call on the $snmpd_pidfile=

Another useful flag would be an optional pre_start() to blow away the
Exec cache (which lingers after the process dies without documentation)

Basically if you're writing a lot of your own passthrough OIDs and one
of them fails to exec, a simple restart of SNMP should be enough to
flush out:

+start_precmd=snmpd_precmd

+snmpd_precmd () {
+       if checkyesno snmpd_flush_cache; then
+               rm -rvf /var/net-snmp/.snmp-exec-cache
        fi

No problem from me.  I'm preparing for 5.3.1 upgrade in my local.
This will bump shlib version, so I'll do it after 6.2R with your
patch.
