unknown engineID error during snmp open

[Rafael Garabato]

Hello there,
      
            I am developing a snmp client using snmp version 3. After the snmp_open, the session variable that is returned has its s_snmp_errno element set to SNMPERR_UNKNOWN_ENG_ID. I took a look at the snmpv3_engine_ID_probe function, which is the one that throws this error and I found that it has the following comment: "This is what we expected -> Report == STAT_ERROR". The  client works all right in spite of this error.

           Does this mean that this is an expected result and I shouldn't worry about it?
