    Description

      Start mongod (enterprise) with the --snmp-master flag. The net-snmp code opens a port for smux on 199. Unless mongod is launched as root (bad) or has permission to open the low port, the follwing confusing message is logged.

      [SnmpAgent] [init_smux] bind failed: Permission denied

      The message, or that we're opening another port isn't mentioned in the documentation.
