Thanks Colin and Brian. I will give creating a new snmpd (agent) user with the remote (manager's) engine-id a try.
I was using net-snmp-create-v3-user from the libsnmp-dev package to add users. Unfortunately, it does not support engine-id, so I'll have to forgo that tool for this. Does anyone have an example of what the final trapsess looks like?
