Well the agent is rewriting the file... but it rewrites always with the same "copy".
With the commands you gave us, the debug is working fine and doesn't launch errors or warnings. It shows some exams to the rwuser defined in the other snmpd.conf (the normal one without the not edit... :)) and then it searches for some parsers that it founds and calls. Then it does the "storing" thing in the not to edit snmpd.conf and shows it. When the TERM signal is launch it does the storing process again but it seems that it crunches the last. Everything looks normal but unfortunately it's only look. But the suggestions were good and I think we're getting close. Is there any other thing I can do? Some ./configure parameters or some other configuration stuff that is needed and that I might haven't defined? Something I have to put in the snmp.conf (the one without not edit)? I'm brainstorming... I'm running as root.

Hmmmm...it sounds like the agent is failing to rewrite the (persistent) snmpd.conf file. That would certainly explain the behaviour you are seeing. (Although it wouldn't explain why the createUser line is disappearing..) I presume you are running this as root? All I can suggestis that you try snmpd -f -Le -Dread_config ^C Then look through the debug output. You ought to see various lines of the form: read_config: storing: ...... Is there anything like that? Also, what do you see if you run snmpd -f -Le ^C (i.e. no debug output at all). Are there any error or warning messages?
