OK - if you are talking about a subagent, then the access control
configuration is not relevant. All of this is handled by the master agent.
A subagent would never see the community string (if any)
Similarly the configuration of trap destinations (trapsink, etc)
is also the responsibility of the master agent. The subagent would
simply send all notifications to the master agent.
This is handled automatically by the Net-SNMP subagent framework.

Any configuration that should be held in common by the master
agent and subagent would be handled via the config file 'agentx.conf'
Currently, the only recognised tokens are
agentxsocket
agentxperms
agentxretries
& agentxtimeout

The community string(s) used for generating traps have absolutely
nothing to do with the community strings used in access control.
One is used for outgoing requests - the other is used for incoming
requests. Within the SNMP framework, these are regarded as being
two completely different "applications" - they just happen to be combined
within a single binary.
