i use the ucd-snmp agent on FreeBSD and NetBSD without problem, however, on my
SPARC machine running Solaris 8, if i run the ucd-snmp agent i run into the
following issue.

if i ^C out of an snmpwalk of the MIB tree, the ucd-snmp agent crashes.  i then
have to restart it.  the SUN supplied snmp agent doesn't crash in this same
setup.  i've tried this repeatedly, and i can reproduce it every time.  if
the SUN supplied snmp agent does what you need, then i recommend using it, if
it doesn't do what you need, you may want to consider running ucd-snmp from 
sun's snmpx (Master SNMP Agent) to fill in the blanks.

just my 2 cents.
