Sorry for taking this long to reply.

I specified the context as follow:
Rwuser tester1 noauth -V viewall "router12"

And I used 
Snmpwalk -v3 -l noAuth -u tester1 -n "router12" localhost

The command timeout as before.

If I use the command without -n option and the rwuser directive in snmpd.conf 
as above
The command reports an error:
Error in packet
Reason: authorizationError (access denied to that object)

Do you have any other suggestion that I can test. I was hoping that I can 
define a wildcard type of CONTEXT that matches all or allow all contexts to be 
passed to my low level code which handles further qualification on the request. 
In other words all I want is to have the request passed to me the contextName 
field of the pdu. At the moment the all request with -n options are blocked and 
or timeout occurs.

Thanks,
Bernadette Eyre

What happens if you specify the second context exactly,
rather than using the wildcard approach?
