Either of those two would be acceptable. At the moment, the library has the unfortunate behaviour that you can't delay setting the SNMP version until after opening the session, if you're talking to a v1-only agent. The initial probe fails, so 'snmp_open' doesn't return a session structure - despite the fact that the v3 information wouldn't actually be needed anyway. I tried to raise this with Wes a couple of years ago (and subsequently), but we never got very far.
