Description:
------------
net-snmp-libs-5.1.2-11.EL4.7
net-snmp-devel-5.1.2-11.EL4.7
net-snmp-utils-5.1.2-11.EL4.7
net-snmp-5.1.2-11.EL4.7

When 5.2.4 is compiled --with-snmp (also with and without --enable-ucd-snmp-hack) permission is required to read /var/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf.  This by default is owned by root with permissions so that only root can read the files.


$ ls -la /var/net-snmp/ /var/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf
-rw-------  1 root root  675 Sep  4 12:47 /var/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf

ls: /var/net-snmp/: Permission denied

I'd rather not open up public permissions to the conf file or directory, and I certainly do not want to run this under an apache virtualhost as root. I running under Apache 2.2 as a CGI with operating system Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 update 4.

The highest version of net-snmp provided by Redhat for RHEL4 is 5.1.

This appears in nature similar to Bug #32613, however that bug was closed.
	

Reproduce code:
---------------
php -v as a non-root user, or a user that does not have permission to read/write to the default net-snmp path.


$ php -v

Expected result:
----------------
I expected not to see a permission issue (read_config_store open failure) in attempting to write to the persistent file.

Actual result:
--------------
Actual result is:
read_config_store open failure on /var/net-snmp/snmpapp.conf
