This is not any PHP bug to fix, complain to the net-snmp people about
this. There might be some configuration options in the snmp.conf &
friends to control this behaviour..

Description:
------------
Build environment is Solaris 8 with net-snmp5.1.

I built php 4.3.11 with
 ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local  \
     --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-ldap \
     --with-apxs=/private/apache/bin/apxs --with-xml --with-pspell \
     --with-snmp --with-zlib
    make

The build completed normally, but when I then run
 $ /dfs/src/solaris/php-4.3.11/sapi/cli/php--version
I get
 PHP 4.3.11 (cli) (built: Apr  6 2005 11:12:09)
 Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group

 Cannot rename /var/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf to
/var/net-snmp/snmpapp.0.conf
 Cannot unlink /var/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf

 read_config_store open failure on /var/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf
 read_config_store open failure on /var/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf

On the same computer with the same environment, I built
php 4.3.10, and it produces no such errors, viz:
 $ /dfs/src/solaris/php-4.3.10/sapi/cli/php --version
 PHP 4.3.10 (cli) (built: Apr  6 2005 14:30:39)

4.3.11 appears to need write access to /var/snmp to 
be able to rename files and read/write access to snmpapp.conf.   Short
of making /var/snmp world write,
and snmpapp.conf world write is there a way to restore
the 4.3.10 behvior which doesn't even require the
existance of /var/net-snmp?

Thanks

Reproduce code:
---------------
Configure and build 4.3.11 --with-snmp, and then try
to run
 sapi/cli/php --version
as a mortal (non-root) user.

Expected result:
----------------
I expect to see the version info e.g.
 PHP 4.3.11 (cli) (built: Apr  6 2005 11:12:09)
 Copyright (c) 1997-2004 The PHP Group
 Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies

Actual result:
--------------
 PHP 4.3.11 (cli) (built: Apr  6 2005 11:12:09)
