I can create the following types of configuration files for you.
Select the file type you wish to create:
(you can create more than one as you run this program)
   1:  snmpd.conf 
   2:  snmp.conf
   3:  snmptrapd.conf
Other options: quit
Select File: 1

The configuration information which can be put into snmpd.conf is divided
into sections.  Select a configuration section for snmpd.conf
that you wish to create:
   1:  Access Control Setup
   2:  Trap Destinations
   3:  Monitor Various Aspects of the Running Host
   4:  Agent Operating Mode
   5:  System Information Setup 
   6:  Extending the Agent
Other options: finished
Select section: 5

Section: System Information Setup
Description:
  This section defines some of the information reported in
  the "system" mib group in the mibII tree.
Select from:
   1:  The [typically physical] location of the system.
   2:  The contact information for the administrator
   3:  The proper value for the sysServices object.
Other options: finished, list
Select section:

Configuring: syslocation
Description:
  The [typically physical] location of the system.
    Note that setting this value here means that when trying to
    perform an snmp SET operation to the sysLocation.0 variable will make
    the agent return the "notWritable" error code.  IE, including
    this token in the snmpd.conf file will disable write access to
    the variable.
    arguments:  location_string
The location of the system: room

Configuring: syscontact
Description:
  The contact information for the administrator
    Note that setting this value here means that when trying to
    perform an snmp SET operation to the sysContact.0 variable will make
    the agent return the "notWritable" error code.  IE, including
    this token in the snmpd.conf file will disable write access to
    the variable.
    arguments:  contact_string
The contact information: Ada Hsu

Configuring: sysservices
Description:
  The proper value for the sysServices object.
    arguments:  sysservices_number
does this host offer physical services (eg, like a repeater) [answer 0 or 1]: 0
does this host offer datalink/subnetwork services (eg, like a bridge): 0
does this host offer internet services (eg, supports IP): 1
does this host offer end-to-end services (eg, supports TCP): 1
does this host offer application services (eg, supports SMTP): 1
Finished Output: sysservices 0*1 + 0*2 + 1*4 + 1*8 + 1*64

The following files were created:
  snmpd.conf
These files should be moved to /usr/share/snmp/ if you
want them used by everyone on the system.  In the future, if you add
the -i option to the command line I'll copy them there automatically for you.
Or, if you want them for your personal use only, copy them to
/root/.snmp .  In the future, if you add the -p option to the
command line I'll copy them there automatically for you.
