 This file doesn't exist.

 [....macports.org/release/ports/net/net-snmp]# port load net-snmp


 Error: Target org.macports.load returned: Launchd plist
 /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.net-snmp.plist was not found


 This is the right one:

 [....macports.org/release/ports/net/net-snmp]# file
 /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.NetSNMP.plist


 /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.NetSNMP.plist: XML 1.0 document text

 This seems like something that would have been caught with the most basic
 of testing. Yes, I know it's free software/all-volunteer etc. but it's a
 waste of effort to offer something that doesn't actually work as
 described.

 Also, the +server variant has to be selected to actually get an snmpd
 daemon installed. That seems like a POLA violation: why else would you
 install net-snmp?
