It seems so obvious that I didn't dare to post this at first:

snippet from /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf:

# By far, the most common question I get about the agent is "why won't
# it work?", when really it should be "how do I configure the agent to
# allow me to access it?"

I remember from previous attempts (way way back) that the default on RedHat
is very restrictive to protect the innocent...  It only allows access to
a few OIDs, ifInOctets and friends not included.  At least, it used to be
this way.
