Thanks Dave. This I will read. The reason why I asked this was because I am using the Single API functions equivalent to the Traditional API functions used in ucd-snmp-0.4.2.5 's snmpget application. Till now I was using only v2c(and everything worked fine), but now I wanted to get it running for v3 also.
In my application the snmptrapd's code and snmpget/set's code work in parallel. Evevrything used to work fine till v2c. But when I start my application I get error as : Unknown token: engineBoots Unknown token: oldEngineId I am not able to understand why it gives this error message in the beginning. I am trying to dig out more. But if someone can pinpoint then it will be fast for me.
