Here's one I have for UCD-SNMP (assuming that's what you're using):

com2sec mynetwork 192.168.0.0/24 public

group MyROGroup v1         mynetwork
group MyROGroup v2c        mynetwork
group MyROGroup usm        mynetwork

view all    included  .1                               80

access MyROGroup ""      any       noauth    exact  all    none   none

syslocation Computer room.
syscontact Mike Johnson <mike at enoch.org>



The snmpd.conf that came with UCD-SNMP was well commented.  I've
included the settings that I set.  I forget what the 'view all' string
was for, though.  I imagine it was in there and I just let it go.

Basically, you set a network and assigne a comunnity string, create 
some groups (you only really need v1), you say what can be viewed, and
you set the normal settings (syslocation and syscontact are awful
common).

If it's working, you can then do 'snmpwalk <host> public'.
