Gdb?! That's a bit extreme. Note that snmpd may open ports other than
the SNMP listening port.

Look in /usr/local/etc/snmpd.conf. If yuou're just getting started,
`man snmpconf` for a good way to avoid getting clogged with details while
learning. If you don't want to run as root, make all port numbers >1024
(preferably >8000) and put unix domain sockets (you would only use this for
AgentX) in your own filesystem, but if you can build to /usr/local, you've got
root priv, don'cha?
HTH,
