You can configure the minimum required swap using the swap
directive in snmpd.conf:

swap -1

should do the trick

swap -1 solve problem
But this option is not documented, at least in man
snmpd.conf page.

Hmm, yes, there are many options for snmpd.conf that are now
sown in the man page. Most are mentioned in the EXAMPLE.conf
that should be consulted in addition, but that is not the
case for this option.
It seems we need to be more careful with documentation ;-)

I am running 5.7.2.1
NET-SNMP version: 5.7.2.1
Web: http://www.net-snmp.org/
Email: net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net

I cannot find any mention of the 'swap -1' directive in any of the following places:
man page snmpd
man page snmpd.conf
snmpd.conf.example provided by Gentoo

Did this somehow slip?
