Package: snmpd Version: 5.2.3-7 Severity: normal The current init script does not reset the PATH environment variable. Therefore, it fails to find start-stop-daemon (and therefore fails to work) from environments where PATH does not include "/sbin". I found this problem when I added "/etc/init.d/snmpd restart" to the crontab on this machine (to migitate a memory leak, but this is another problem).
Proposed solution: Add the following lines to the init script: PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin export PATH Many other init scripts already do this: host# grep ^PATH= /etc/init.d/* | wc -l 42 Thank you!
