about what should go in this file.

There is no example 'snmp.conf' shipped with the standard distribution.

The configuration file 'EXAMPLE.conf' is designed as a config for the agent, and should be installed as 'snmpd.conf' (note the 'd'). The file 'snmp.conf' is intended for general configuration options, applicable to all applications (via the SNMP library).

Rename (or merge) the 'snmp.conf' file to 'snmpd.conf', and this should fix the problem.

See the AGENT section or the 'snmpd.conf(5)' man page for more information about what should go in this file.
