** Description changed: snmpd reports wrong interface speed when it is run as the snmp user. Running snmpd as root gives the correct result. Debug output suggests a permission problem. The gigabit network interface speed is correctly determined at startup, but fails when the owner of the process switches from root to the snmp user (or so I assume). After failure snmpwalk reports a speed of 10 Mbit/s for all interfaces.
