2013-11-04 Get SNMP(v3) working on Ubuntu 12.04

I am running an Ubuntu 12.04 as working environment on my local machine. Ubuntu 12.04 is latest LTS (Long Term Support) version so that it's a good choice for a server. I need to install SNMP on my machine recently and I install it by following command
sudo apt-get install snmpd snmp
However it seems doesn't work. After checking the system log, I found the following errors in /var/log/syslog
 snmpd[8461]: /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 90: Error: Already have an entry for this process.
 snmpd[8461]: /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf: line 92: Error: Already have an entry for this process.

The content of /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf is like

 90 proc  mountd

 92 proc  ntalkd    4

 94 proc  sendmail 10 1

So let's fix the problem. I comment the snmpd.conf configurations appeared in syslog, then use command cat /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf | grep -v '#' | grep -v '^\s*$' to get a clean version.
view   systemonly  included   .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
view   systemonly  included   .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1
rocommunity public  default    -V systemonly
rouser   authOnlyUser
sysLocation    Sitting on the Dock of the Bay
sysContact     Me <me@example.org>
sysServices    72
disk       /     10000
disk       /var  5%
load   12 10 5
trapsink     localhost public
iquerySecName   internalUser
rouser          internalUser
master          agentx
createUser testuser MD5 "testpasswd"
rouser testuser auth
After updated /etc/snmpd/snmpd.conf and /etc/init.d/snmpd restart, now it's working.
$ snmpwalk -v 3 -l authNoPriv -a MD5 -u testuser -A testpasswd 127.0.0.1:161 sysDescr
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux simon-desktop 3.9.3-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 9 16:20:46 UTC 2013 x86_64
BTW, The i3 is the best tiling window manager I have ever used.
