Bug Description

agentXPerms configuration directive is ignored, causing problems when trying to Asterisk's res_snmp module in sub-agent mode.

Socket /var/agentx/master has root.root ownership, and 0755 perms by default, preventing Asterisk's sub-agent from writing to the socket.

Manually changing ownership and permissions on the socket allows the sub-agent to communicate.

I'm not sure when this fixed, or whether it's fixed in older distributions, but it seems to be working ok in Natty with snmpd 5.4.3~dfsg-1ubuntu5
