That is correct.

I just checked a recent 2.2.6 install, and it doesn't have snmpd, so it
must be a new addition to the latest release (??)

snmpd does Simple Network Management Protocol, and a SNMP monitor can
pull stats (such as IfOctetsIn) from the machine using the SNMP daemon.

I would check the /etc/rc.* files, it may be as simple as setting a NO
in /etc/rc.conf.

Good day      JSW
