Description Thomas Schweikle 2006-02-23 16:10:11 UTC 
              There is no (or better no adequate) documentation available for bsnmpd

Fix: 

Have the author of the software document this piece, or remove it from the base system in favour of a better documented work!
How-To-Repeat:               Install FreeBSD, then try to configure bsnmpd. Try "man bsnmpd" will give one man-page. "man snmpd.config" will only give "No manual entry for snmpd.config".

The configuration file itself isn't documented. There are some comments, but not enough to change configuration to something usable without spending a lot of time. With the given documents it is not possible to have bsnmpd started, then query it from an other machine. This will only lead to "Timeout: No Response from xyz".

Let Hartmut document his software, or remove it :)

Looks like the patch to the documentation got lost when the submitter 
issued the pr. So close the PR for now.
