I believe that in net-snmp-5.9.4_1,1, snmpd is running as the "snmpd"
user rather than as root.  Can you confirm this?  net-snmp-5.9.4_2,1
reverts back to running as root.  Does that fix the problem for you?

What is in your snmp-cpu-temperature.sh script?  Does it need to run as
root?  (I'd be a bit surprised if so.)

This is in the extension MIB, so presumably Budi has some configuration
to add these OIDs.  Did you add something like that?
