Summary: Can't disable file logging

Initial Comment:
I'm running Net-SNMP 5.2 on a Gentoo Linux box. It
works great except for one thing.

I enabled syslog logging to daemon.info with snmpd CLI
argument '-Lsd' which works great.

(I prefer syslog because it makes it easier for me to
send logs to a remote host as well as integrate with my
log checking tools better.)

So I'd like to completely disable file logging and keep
syslog logging, because it's not ideal to write out the
same info twice.

There is no run-time configuration method of disabling
file logging. For instance, '-Lf /dev/null' doesn't work.

Also, reportedly the new null log handler in 5.2
('-Ln') won't do the trick because it won't disable the
file log handler.

Since I run a distribution-based system without easy
access to modifying configure options, would prefer a
run-time config option somewhere -- whether via a CLI
argument to snmpd or via snmpd.conf.

the right fix there..
