Hi,
We are using net-snmp5.2.6 library to communicate with switches  SNMP agent.
Our manager was working fine  for some time without any issues. after some days 
the agent  starts giving report " usmStatsNotInTimeWindows"  to all GETNEXT 
queries. we noticed that the enginetime supplied by manager and enginetime 
respond by agent is having a huge difference.

Manager : keep on sending  Encrypted PDU snmp v3 communication with parameters (
snmp.msgID: 6828301
snmp.msgAuthoritativeEngineID:8000000903000DEC246A00
snmp.msgAuthoritativeEngineBoots:6
snmp.msgAuthoritativeEngineTime:17501513

Agent:

Encrypted PDU is replied by the switch's SNMP agent  with the parameters
snmp.msgID: 6828301
snmp.msgAuthoritativeEngineID:8000000903000DEC246A00
snmp.msgAuthoritativeEngineBoots:6
snmp.msgAuthoritativeEngineTime:2935400


When we contact with Agent team , they say that It is a problem from manager 
that it is not using the enginetime provided by agent. when I look deep in code 
I see that we use " snmp_sess_synch_response" function of net-snmp and net-snmp 
lib generates this engineboot, enginetime values.

We restart the manger and it solves the problem.

Let me know how engine time is calculated in net-snmp?, What action net-snmp 
does if there is a "usmStatsNotInTimeWindows" repor generted by agent?.

Your Help is highly appreciated..

Thanks,
Naj..
