Many years ago I needed a small SNMP daemon for controlling some 
equipment. I looked at ucd-snmp (that was the name than) but decided 
against it because it was far too big. The even bigger problem was, that 
it didn't care about handling errors in the places I looked at. I use 
bsnmp alot in projects to do remote monitoring controlling of equipment - 
you don't need SNMPv3 for them and it is easy to write a new MIB for 
bsnmp.
