Package: snmpd Version: 5.4.3~dfsg-2The init script calls start-stop-daemon to start and stop the daemons without using pidfiles. This means that on systems with multiple daemon instances (for example, where a user has made their own secondary init script, see: , or where the user is running snmpd within linux container guests), the stop call will kill all instances instead of just one.
PID files should always be used in init scripts where daemon support is available. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the daemon: /etc/init.d/snmpd start2. Start another copy of the daemon with another configuration file, or in a linux container
3. Stop the daemon: /etc/init.d/snmpd stop Actual Results: All daemons die, or wrong daemon dies. Expected Results: Only correct deamon dies. Regards.
