They aren't the same, and I would expect it would show up in the pdu. But you shouldn't be poking around in the pdu. First, I haven't tried any of this, so don't quote me. But, I think you have to register your sub-agent for each context you want to handle. So you should use the void pointer for your handler to determine which context is in play.

Net-SNMP offers a mapping function to provide a context based on the community string provided in a v1 request. -- Robert Story; NET-SNMP Junkie <http://www.net-snmp.org/> <irc://irc.freenode.net/#net-snmp> Archive: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=net-snmp-users> You are lost in a twisty maze of little standards, all different. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
