Correct way of stopping snmpd
Hi All, Kindly confirm that 'kill -9' is valid way to stop snmpd. I am writing service script for systemctl to stop snmpd and would like to understand correct way of stopping the daemon. According to Source code agent/snmpd.c , SIGTERM (kill -9) , SIGINT (ctl+c) are for snmpd shutdown.

You may take a look at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/net-snmp/blob/rawhide/f/snmpd.service for a working example in Fedora/RHEL.

I went ahead and created the patch for the UDP domain. In line with the previous patch where you had added support for IPv6, I have added that support to this patch too. It was tested and works fine when the snmpd listens on udp, and when it listens on udp6. The patch is attached to this email. If it could be merged into the source code, we would be so grateful.

The attached patch in combination with a patch that reduces code duplication have been applied. Please retest.
