I think I know the answer to this question by code inspection.

Is it possible to obtain the SNMP community of a given request when
you are in the agentx subagent?

I think that the answer is 'no'.

It looks like there is code that will optionally write a context into
the community part of a pdu - but it doesn't really look like it this
can be set by the agentx master (at least not with standard APIs).

I find myself wanting to be both a 'server' in my agentx subagent
(what 99.9% of the world does).  But I also want to be able to send
set requests in my agentx subagent (i.e. be a client) and I wanted to
'steal' the community string of the incoming request in order to use
in my outgoing set request.

I am guessing that this is NOT possible without patching the master
agent, yes?

I hope that I am wrong.

Thanks,
John
